The free energies of immersion for three hydroxyapatite samples of different origin and method of preparation were determined from water adsorption isotherms at 20 and 25 C. The free energies varied with the temperature of the isotherm, changing linearly with the outgassing temperature in the range of 20 and 300 C. The samples outgassed at 300 C yielded free energy of immersion values of 365, 432, and 476 ergs/ cm2 for the VIC-, NBS-, and TVA-HAP, respectively. Work of adhesion and work of spreading were calculated for water on these samples.
