Abstract
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.

Abstract
Due to their unique features, Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) have potential applications in aerospace, military and industry. ZrB2-SiC composite as one of these ceramics has been at the center of researches due to its attractive mechanical, thermal and oxidation resistance. In this study, the effect of ZrC addition on pressureless sintering behavior, mechanical, microstructural and thermal properties of ZrB2-SiC nanocomposite were investigated. For this purpose, micron-sized ZrB2 and ZrC powders and nano-sized SiC powder were used. ZrB2-20vol% SiC nanocomposites with addition of (3, 6, 9, 12, 15) vol% ZrC were sintered by pressureless sintering method at 2100 ºC. The results showed that the addition of ZrC improved relative density, hardness and fracture toughness of ZrB2-20vol% SiC nanocomposite. Optimum properties were obtained in a sample containing 12 vol% ZrC and the relative density, hardness and fracture toughness of this sample were reported to be 99.01%, 16.95 Gpa and 5.43 Mpa.m0.5, respectively. Thermal analysis of the samples showed that by adding ZrC, thermal diffusivity of this nanocomposite reduced. The highest thermal diffusivity at room temperature equaled 35.3 mm2 /s and was obtained for ZS composite.
