Abstract
Implant materials with micro/nanostructures bear a closer resemblance with the features of natural bone, which influences the wettability, bone differentiation, and vascularization of materials. However, it is still technically challenging to design the inner wall and surface micro/nanostructures on macroporous bioceramics due to their brittleness. In this work, micro/nanostructured composites with Si3N4 whiskers as a framework, and the (inner) surface covered with SiC nanowires were prepared, denoted as SiC-nw@Si3N4-w bioceramics. The synthesis, adopting the green chemistry concept, was utilized from environmental products (carbon evaporated in the furnace at high temperature) and reaction impurities (carbon obtained by polymer pyrolysis and silicon obtained by Si3N4 decomposition) to synthesize SiC nanowires via a vapor-solid growth mechanism. The prepared SiC-nw@Si3N4-w bioceramics have potential applications in bone repair due to their cell adhesion and proliferation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
