In this study, forsterite nanopowder was prepared by mechanical alloying and post-heat treatment method. Bioactive properties of forsterite nanopowder were studied by immersing the powder in the SBF. Nanostructure forsterite bulk dense form was prepared by the two step sintering method. It was found that pure forsterite nanopowder with 25-60nm particle size was produced. The results of soaking of forsterite nanopowder in the SBF showed that forsterite nanopowder is bioactive. Also, forsterite dense bulk with the optimal hardness of 940 Hv and fracture toughness of 3.61 MPa.m1/2 was produced. These findings suggest that forsterite nanostructure ceramics possess good biocompatibility, bioactivity and mechanical properties and could be suitable for orthopedic and dental implant materials.
