AB  - The effects of filler loading and silane coupling agent on the properties of 
      hydroxyapatite (HAp)-filled high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites have been 
      studied. The (HAp) powder was successfully produced from tilapia scales using the 
      spray drying process utilized to prepare the HDPE/HAp composites. The FTIR peaks 
      for the untreated HDPE/30HAp composite corresponded to the functional groups of 
      HDPE (C-CH(3)) and -CH(2) and HAp (PO(4)(-3) and O-H). The FTIR spectrum for the 
      silane-treated composite showed that the C=O and silanol groups were eliminated, 
      which strongly confirms the chemical interaction between the HAp fillers and the 
      HDPE matrix. The developed composites demonstrated enhanced mechanical 
      performance, and in particular the treated HDPE/30HAp-S composite exhibited 
      superior tensile strength, Young's modulus and flexural modulus of 28.26 MPa, 
      1272 MPa and 796 MPa, respectively. In vitro cytotoxicity analysis showed that 
      the developed composites were non-toxic and have great potential to be used for 
      biomedical application.
