The Effect of Synthesis Conditions on Calcium Silicate Bioceramic Materials

Abstract

In this study, calcium silicate bioceramic materials of various Ca/Si ratios were prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate and calcium nitrate by a hydrothermal synthesis method, taking into consideration cost-effective and environmentally friendly, ‘green’, synthesis rules. For comparison purposes, sol-gel synthesis method was also used. Calcium silicate bioceramic materials produced by both methods were calcined at 600°C and 950°C. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Thermal Analysis, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction methods were used to characterize calcium silicate bioceramic materials. The characterization results validated the formation of calcium silicate materials.

Sentez Koşullarının Kalsiyum Silikat Biyoseramik Malzemelere Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, çeşitli Ca/Si oranlarındaki kalsiyum silikat biyoseramik malzemeleri, düşük maliyetli ve çevre dostu "yeşil" sentez kuralları göz önünde bulundurularak, bir hidrotermal sentez yöntemi ile hazırlanmıştır. Karşılaştırma amacıyla sol-gel sentez metodu da kullanılmıştır. Başlangıç materyali olarak tetraetil ortosilikat ve kalsiyum nitrat kullanılmıştır. Her iki yöntemle üretilen kalsiyum silikat biyoseramik malzemeleri 600 °C ve 950 °C'de kalsine edilmiştir. Fourier Dönüşümü Kızılötesi Spektroskopisi, Termogravimetrik Termal Analiz, Alan Emisyon Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu ve X-Işını Kırınımı metodları kalsiyum silikat biyoseramik malzemeleri karakterize etmek için kullanılmıştır. Karakterizasyon sonuçları kalsiyum silikat malzemelerinin oluşumunu doğrulamıştır.
