Abstract: (10110 Views)
The aim of this work was synthesis of MCM-41/HA nanocomposite and biodegradation behavior of pure silica-mesoporous in attendance of hydroxyapatite crystals. These materials were synthsized by sol-gel method and ageing at 100°C for 24hr. A surfactant was used as template. The pores were formed after removal of surfactant by calcination at 550°C. FTIR results demonstrated formation of silanol and siloxan groups of silica network and hydroxyl and phosphate groups of HA network. Also SEM, TEM and EDS results confirmed presence of HA crystals within MCM-41 structure. Finally biodegradation behavior was examined by ICP and FTIR analysis. The results indicated biodegradable HA phase in the nanocomposite (with release of Ca2+ inos in water and the increasing of the pH value) can increase non-bridging oxygens of the silica network and therefore, it improves biodegradation behavior of silica network.
