Calcium silicate bioceramics have good cell compatibility. Calcium silicate is a potential new bioactive bone repair material with broad application prospects.
Calcium silicate bioceramic coating integrates biological activity, morphological fixation, anti-infection and other complex biological functions, and has high mechanical strength. It can be used as a new generation of bone implants to improve early healing performance and long-term implantation. into the effect.
Calcium silicate is an inorganic substance, mostly needle-shaped crystals and white powder. Odorless, non-toxic, soluble in strong acid, insoluble in water, alcohol and alkali. When heated to 680-700°C, the crystallization water is released, and the crystal shape does not change. It is produced by mixing silicic acid, quicklime and water in a certain proportion and performing a hydrothermal reaction to generate calcium silicate microcrystalline slurry, which is filtered, washed and dried.
Calcium silicate is non-cytotoxic and has good biological activity, which can promote the growth of osteoblasts.
Calcium silicate nanowhiskers and silk fibroin can prepare composite nanofibers with good bioactivity and degradation properties, which can be used as bone tissue repair materials.
