Özet:    In this study, production of acrylic bone cement which has high strength by adding hydroxyapatite additive that was produced using two different calcium sources was aimed. Characterizations were performed using XRD, and FT-IR. Thermal behaviors and surface morphologies were determined using DTA/TG and SEM techniques. The addition of hydroxyapatite produced from Ca(OH)2 and seashell increased the compressive strength (from 74 MPa to 106 MPa and 103 MPa) of the resultant cements respectively. These new bone cements have mechanical strengths comparable with commercially available cements and are believed to be more biocompatible since hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral present in the bone structure.
