چکیده

Silicates are well known for their bioactivity, here we are reporting the bioactivity of diopside (CaMgSi2O6) synthesized by sol-gel combustion process by using citric acid and succinic acid as a mixed fuel. The phase formation of the prepared sample was confirmed by powder X-Ray Diffraction. In-vitro bioactivity of the diopside in conjugation with biopolymer chitin in various proportions were analyzed by immersing the scaffolds in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The biopolymer to bioceramic ratio which mimics human bone shows more bioactivity.

The In Vitro Bioactivity, Degradation, and Cytotoxicity of Polymer-Derived Wollastonite-Diopside Glass-Ceramics

Ca-Mg silicates are receiving a growing interest in the field of bioceramics. In a previous study, wollastonite-diopside (WD) glass-ceramics were successfully prepared by a new processing route, consisting of the heat treatment of a silicone resin embedding reactive oxide particles and a Ca/Mg-rich glass. The in vitro degradation, bioactivity, and cell response of these new WD glass-ceramics, f...

Evaluation of Biopolymers Effect on In vitro Biocompatibility Property of Nano Hydroxyl Apatite Composites

In this work, we report the effect of biopolymers (starch and gelatin) on in vitro biocompatibility property of nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp) composites. Cell culture and MTT assays were performed for in vitro biocompatibility. They show that nHAp can affect the proliferation of cells and the nHAp-starch and nHAP-gelatin biocomposites have no negative effect on the cell morphology, viability and p...

An investigation on injectable composites fabricated by 45S5 bioactive glass and gum tragacanth: Rheological properties and in vitro behavior

The injectable composites were formulated from melt-derived 45S5 bioactive glass powder and gum tragacanth. The effect of tragacanth concentration (2 and 4 w/v%) and powder to liquid ratio (P/L= 1.5 to 2.5) on rheological properties, injectability, degradation, swelling, and bioactivity the composites was studied. With the increase of P/L ratio and tragacanth concentration, the force requ...

Survey and Evaluation of Diopside Nanostructure (DSN) Bioactivity in Biomedical Application

Diopside (DS) is a monoclinic pyroxene mineral with composition MgCaSi2O6. Lately,diopside (DS) has beenintroduced as a bioceramics due to its best bioactivity and biocompatibility. It has a good strength andtoughness than those of hydroxyapatite (HT). In this project, bioactivity of diopside (DS) powder wereevaluated and investigated. For synthesized of diopside (DS) powder, ...
