Experimental data on the characterization of hydroxyapatite produced from a novel mixture of biowastes.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this data narrative is to report the morphological structures, functional groups, elemental composition, pH adaptability and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) biomaterials synthesized from a novel mixture of biowastes (bovine and catfish bones) by a simple sol-gel method assisted with sintering at 900 °C. The produced powders were homogenously mixed by the sol-gel approach at different weights (depicted by sample nomenclature) and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with electron dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), immersion in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), and mechanical measurements (hardness and fracture toughness). The SEM micrographs revealed pore interconnec
