Merwinite powders were synthesized by a sol-gel process. The bioactivity in vitro of merwinite was investigated by soaking the powders in simulated body fluid (SBF), the growth of hydroxyapatite(HAp) on the surface of the powder was evaluated in various time. It was found that hydroxyapatite was formed after soaking for 14 days. The results indicate that merwinite possessed apatite-formation ability might be a potential candidate biomaterial for hard tissue repair.

Osteoconductive bone-repairing materials with mechanical properties analogous to those of human bone can be prepared through the combination of an osteoconductive ceramic filler with an organic polymer. Osteoconduction is archived from apatite formation on substrates. Previously, we reported that novel osteoconductive spherical particles in a binary CaO-SiO2 system were produced through a sol-gel process as ceramic filler for the fabrication of composites. In this study, we fabricated the composites consisting of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and 30CaO·70SiO2 (CS) spherical particles and evaluated the effects of heat treatment in the range of 320-360 °C on apatite formation of the composites in a simulated body fluid. The prepared composites of PEEK and CS particles form hydroxyapatite on their surfaces in the simulated body fluid. The induction periods of hydroxyapatite on the composites decreased with increasing the amount of CS particles and decreasing the temperature for heat treatment. The apatite formation was affected by exposure of ceramic filler on the polymer matrix.

In this study a new P-free system applied to the production of Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles (BG-NPs) is proposed, in order to evaluate the effect of suppressing this component, in the bioactivity capability of the materials. The BG-NPs, based on both ternary (SiO2-CaO-P2O5) and binary (SiO2-CaO) systems, were prepared via a sol-gel method. The morphology and composition of the BG-NPs were studied using FTIR and SEM. New composite membranes were produced combining chitosan and the BG-NPs. The bioactive character of the prepared biodegradable membranes was accessed in vitro by analyzing the capability for apatite formation onto the surface after being immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF). EDX and SEM were used to confirm the bioactivity of the materials.

Abstract In this work, biocompatible glass (bioglass) particles were prepared by low temperature, acid catalysed sol-gel method. The effect of varying phosphate (P2O5) content (10, 15 and 20 mol %) in the sol-gel derived glass composition were studied. The sol-gel derived bioglass particles were compacted into cylindrical pellets via hydraulic press machine and sintered at 600°C for 3 hours. The bioglass particulates were analysed by x-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen gas adsorption. Meanwhile, the sintered bioglass pellets were analysed by FTIR, XRD and FESEM-EDX. Furthermore, in vitro bioactivity analysis was performed by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days. Bioglass particulates with high glassy phase, high surface area and high porosities were obtained for all compositions. Increasing of phosphate content to 20 mol% particularly reduced the porous characteristics of the bioglass particulates. Furthermore, leads to higher bridging oxygen (BO) atoms, higher amorphous silicate networks, lower glass crystallinity and higher number of phosphate crystallites within the amorphous glassy matrix. Increased to 20 mol% of phosphate also reduced the ability of the bioglass surface to induce carbonated apatite formation when immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution.

A bioactive composite coating consisting of one layer of titania and one layer of apatite was formed on Ti substrate. The first layer of crystalline titania was deposited on Ti at low temperatures either through oxidation of Ti by hydrogen peroxide solution or through hydrolysis of TiF4 or TiCl4 solution. It was shown that the crystalline titania, either in the form of anatase or rutile, induced formation of the second layer of apatite in a simulated body fluid. However, the trace elements in the titania layer affected greatly apatite formation. The Cl incorporated in the titania layer did not hinder apatite formation while F did. The two-layer composite coating should enhance bonding of Ti implants to bone tissue.

The formation of a carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite, HCAp, layer on bioactive calcium silicate sol-gel glass of the formula (CaO)0.3(SiO2)0.7 has been studied in-vitro in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been performed with results showing the formation of a significantly amorphous HCAp layer after less than 5 hours in solution.

Bioactive ORMOSILS (organically modified silicate), PDMS-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 with five different P2O5 content (0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09 mol%) have successfully been synthesized by sol-gel process. The hybrids have been prepared with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), calcium nitrate tetrahydrate [Ca(NO3)2 4H2O] and triethyl phosphate (TEP) as starting materials and subsequently soaked into the simulated body fluid (SBF) for different period of time and the bioactivity of hybrids was determined by examining the apatite formation on the surface of the specimen by FT-IR, Thin-Film X-ray Diffraction, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). All of the prepared samples with different P2O5 content showed in vitro bioactivity. It was observed that the increase in P2O5 content up to 0.03 mole % increases the apatite formation compared to P2O5- free hybrids. However, further increase in P2O5 concentration slows down the formation of the apatite layer most probably due to the decrease of pH of SBF by dissolution of a large amount of phosphate ions.

Porous tricalcium phosphate ceramics were immersed in static and dynamic revised simulated body fluid (RSBF) at 37°C. Morphology, composition and phase of precipitates on TCP were identified by SEM, FTIR and TEM methods. FTIR and TEM results indicated the deposits on the inner pore walls of TCP were OCP, and SEM results implied that the deposited way of precipitates in static system was different from that in dynamic system.

In this study, nanocomposites based on of β-tri calcium phosphate (β-TCP) and 2.5-10 wt% merwinite nanoparticles were prepared and sintered at 1100-1300°c.The mechanical properties were investigated by measuring compressive strength and fracture toughness. Structural properties were evaluated by XRD, TEM and SEM analysis, and the in vitro bioactivity was studied by soaking the samples in simulated body fluid (SBF). The mechanical strength of the sintered samples wereincreased, by increasing the amount of merwinite phase up to 5 wt%, whereas it decreased when the samples were sintered at 1100 and 1200°c. Nanostructured calcium phosphate layer was formed on the surfaces of the nanocomposites within 1 day immersion in simulated body fluid. Because of appropriate mechanical properties the composite is suggested to be used as substitute for hard tissue.

Polyetheretherketone is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, that so with heat treatments, it is possible to get different properties which are very important for the material performance. Heat treatment is a broadly utilized to develop the semi-crystalline polymers properties. In the present investigation, annealing of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was carried out at temperatures above its glass transition temperature (Tg) to study its effects upon the biological conduct of the control and PEEK ternary composites. The bioactivity of the specimens was evaluated by investigating the apatite formation after immersion for different periods in a simulated body fluid (SBF). The biocompatibility of specimens was assessed by MTT assay. Additionally, the antibacterial property of the specimens versus S. aureus was observed with the optical density methods. The results manifested that the formation of hydroxyapatite was obviously observed on specimens after immersion for (7 and 14 days) in the simulated body fluid (SBF). Otherwise, the results of MTT assay recorded the PEEK specimens that excited the activity of fibroblasts, and therefore a high cytocompatibility was noticed and the specimens revealed antibacterial properties against S. aureus. So, the results of the bioactivity, biocompatibility and antibacterial tests in vitro demonstrated that the heat treatment enhanced biological behavior.
