骨替代材料成為近年來的課題的研究，由於其模擬天然骨，適度的彈性，以及有限可塑性的硬度並提供肌肉附著的剛性結構的能力。在這項研究中，從羥基磷灰石和骨瓊脂糖模仿的造型進行了研究。此外，成功的過程，使模擬骨通過測定羥磷灰石糊劑和瓊脂糖的適當組合物進行優化。薄膜狀從骨模仿混合物變成。該薄膜的強度通過拉伸測量測試，以得到的拉伸強度數據到該膜的其故障。所得到的抗張強度為相媲美的天然骨的強度和生物玻璃材料的抗張強度，並對絕經後骨質疏鬆症的婦女是有益的。

Bone substitute materials have becoming the topic research in recent year due to its ability to mimic the hardness of the natural bone, moderate elasticity, and limited plasticity and provide a rigid arrangement for muscle attachment. In this research, molding of bone mimicry from hydroxyapatite and agarose was investigated. In addition, the successful process to make the mimic bone was optimized by determining the adequate composition of hydroxyapatite paste and agarose. Thin film shape was obtained from the bone mimicry mixture. The strength of this thin film was tested by tensile measurement to obtain the tensile strength data up to its failure. The obtained tensile strength was comparable to the natural bone strength and the tensile strength of bioglass material. It is also found that this material might be beneficial for post-menopausal osteoporosis women.
