N2 - The fabrication of hydroxyapatite (HA) compacts with high density and superior mechanical properties by spark plasma sintering (SPS) was discussed. The nanostructured HA powders comprised of ultrafine, needle-shaped HA crystallite measuring approximately 50×250 nm2. It was observed that low temperature and short sintering duration of the SPS process helped in increasing grain growth. The results show that at sufficient rapid sintering, fine grain structures are obtained through nanostructured HA powder.
