Abstract
Abstract Composites are important as they have been used in a variety of different fields. Therefore, production and testing of composites have become one of the most popular topics for researchers. In this work, the physical, structural, and mechanical properties such as packing density ( V t ), bond dissociation energy ( G t ), Young’s ( E ), bulk ( B ), shear ( S ), longitudinal ( L ), indentation ( E *) moduli, and Poisson’s ratio ( σ ) were obtained for (100 − x )HAP + x TiO 2 composite, where x = 0, 3, 7.5, and 10 wt%. The variations in those properties with TiO 2 rate in HAP composites were tested.
