In this work, mesoporous hydroxyapatite-silica (HA-silica) composite materials with four different Si:Ca:P ratios were sol-gel derived through self-assembly using triblock copolymer Pluronics P123 as template. The composition and mesoporous structure formed were characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The XRD patterns indicated that the intensity of the HA phase becomes stronger as the Ca/Si ratio of the composite increases. From nitrogen gas analysis at 77 K, type IV isotherm plots for typical mesoporous materials were observed for all of the samples. However, the mesoporous structure of HA-silica tends to becomes less ordered as the Ca/Si ratio increases. Promising consistency between the pore sizes from the Barrett, Joyner and Halenda (BJH) method, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Small Angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD) was also observed. The formation mechanism of mesoporous HA-silica composites was proposed, where the interaction between the crystallization of HA and the surfactant liquid crystal determines the regularity of the meso-structure. In vitro drug loading and release studies showed that drug loading capacity is dependent on the pore volume of the sample, and the mesoporosity of the samples were responsible for the sustained release of drugs. In vitro cell culture of the samples showed promising biocompatibility where osteosarcoma cells were observed to grow favourably on the synthesized composites.
