    Abstract
    This study aims to investigate the morphological and grain size evolution of eggshell-derived hydroxyapatite (HA-Es) dense bodies after sintering at elevated temperatures. Prior to the fabrication process, the starting HA-Es powders were synthesized through a simple chemical precipitation technique using eggshell calcium and ammonium hydrogen phosphate as their precursors. The obtained powder was uniaxially pressed into cylindrical shape compacts, before being subjected to sintering at 1100, 1200 and 1250°. The XRD patterns confirmed that HA exists as a single phase even after sintering at 1250°C, indicating that it is thermally stable at high temperatures. In addition, a microstructural study via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) showed that the densification of the HA-Es dense body progresses as the sintering temperature increases, which in turn increases its relative density and mechanical property. Sintering at 1250°C apparently resulted in a significant improvement of the compressive strength of the sintered HA by approximately 10%. These findings suggest that eggshell-derived HA has promising physical and mechanical properties for the development of hard tissue implants using biogenic waste material as one of its starting materials.
