The poor biomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite are the major demerits that limit its application in bone tissue engineering to repair critical bone defects. The current study aims to prepare sodium-substituted Hap samples by using a time-saving combustion route. Both 5 %Na-Hap and 10 %Na-Hap scaffolds together with Hap was analysed by XRD, FTIR, and SEM/EDAX for characterization. Moreover, the influence of sodium substitution on biomineralization, mechanical stability and MG63 cell cytotoxicity was also studied. XRD pattern shows up to 10 mol% of sodium was substituted in the Hap powder without any collapse in its crystal structure. The structural morphology of the Na-Hap powder was studied using SEM/EDAX. After immersion of Pellets in SBF, the compressive strengths of 5 % Na- Hap and 10 % Na- Hap were found to be 116 MPa and 98 MPa after the day 9, respectively. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of pure Hap, 5 % Na-Hap & 10 % Na-Hap was 59.6, 41.9 and 37.7 mu g/ml, respectively. In conclusion, mechanical stability and apatite deposition properties of sodium substituted Hap show significant improvement compared to Pure Hap, and by comparing two different concentrations of sodium substituted Hap, 5 % Na-Hap shows better apatite deposition and mechanical strength compared to 10 % Na-Hap. The aim of the current work is to synthesis sodium-substituted Hap through combustion route. the resultant sample were characterised by XRD, FTIR, and SEM/EDAX. The characterisation demonstrates that up to 10 mol % of sodium may have been substituted into the Hap matrix. In conclusion, sodium substituted Hap shows improvement in mechanical stability and apatite deposition when compared to previous studies, 5 % Na-Hap exhibits higher apatite deposition and mechanical strength than 10 % Na-Hap.image
