%X Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a synthetic ceramic which is used in numerous biomedical applications. However, its use is restricted in load bearing applications. A novel batch hydrothermal method is indigenously developed to synthesize fine size, crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and titania doped hydroxyapatite (TiO<sub>2</sub>-HA) powders with distinct phase formation. Powders were characterized using XRD, FTIR and DSC-TGA. Sharp peaks in HA XRD pattern after sintering at 1000<span style=\"font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;\">กใ</span>C indicate significant crystallinity while sharp peaks in TiO<sub>2</sub> XRD pattern at 27<span style=\"font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;\">กใ</span>, 36<span style=\"font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;\">กใ</span> and 5<span style=\"font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;\">กใ</span> after sintering indicate anatase to rutile transformation. This fact is also confirmed by FTIR and DSC-TGA Plots.
