HA-bioglass biomedical composite was fabricated successfully without thermal degradation by introducing hot-pressing technique. This has been a challenging issue by the conventional thermal sintering methods. The hot-pressed composite showed improved mechanical properties with respect to conventional composite. Moreover, the HA-BG composite recruited proliferation of osteoblast well, and stimulated cellular activity with respect to sintered HA. This study suggests the novel-developed HA-BG composite by hot-pressing possesses improved potential with respect to pure HA in hard tissue applications.
