چکیده

Forsterite ceramic is a new bioceramic with good biocompatibility. However, the degradation rate of forsterite ceramic is extremely low, and the apatite-formation ability is also poor. On the other hand, nanostructured bioceramics are expected to have better bioactivity than coarser crystals. The aim of this work was preparation, characterization and bioactivity evaluation of forsterite nanopowder. Forsterite nanopowder was synthesized by the sol–gel process. Bioactivity evaluation was preformed by immersing the forsterite powder in the simulated body fluid (SBF) and apatite formation on the surface of the immersed forsterite nanopowders was investigated. Results showed the particle size of pure forsterite was 25– 45 nm. During immersion in SBF, the dissolution rate of the forsterite nanopowder was higher than conventional forsterite powders and apatite was formed after soaking for 14 days. Our study indicated that forsterite nanopowder unlike micron-sized forsterite possessed apatite-formation ability and might be used for preparation of new biomaterials. # 2009 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Effects of surface modification on the mechanical and structural properties of nanofibrous poly(ε-caprolactone)/forsterite scaffold for tissue engineering applications.

Composite scaffolds consisting of polymers reinforced with ceramic nanoparticles are widely applied for hard tissue engineering. However, due to the incompatible polarity of ceramic nanoparticles with polymers, they tend to agglomerate in the polymer matrix which results in undesirable effects on the integral properties of composites. In this research, forsterite (Mg2SiO4) nanoparticles was sur...

Sol-gel synthesis and characterization of alumina-15%mullite composite nanopowder

Homogeneous distribution of mullite in the matrix of alumina can be obtained through sol-gel method. In this work, nanopowder of alumina-mullite composite was synthesized with high homogeneity and high purity. So aluminum chloride hexahydrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate were used instead of alumina or mullite nanopowder. Studying the simultaneouse thermal analysis (STA) of mullite precursor re...
