Abstract
The development of advanced biomaterials for bone repair addresses critical challenges in regenerative medicine. This study focuses on α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP)-based bone cements modified with melt-quenched phosphate bioglasses (P2O5–CaO–Ca(OH)2–KF–TiO2 and P2O5–CaO–Ca(OH)2–ZnO–KF–TiO2), doped with 500 and 2000 ppm of HAuCl4·3H2O. Gold was introduced as a potential contrast for diagnostic imaging. Bioglass was incorporated into the cement matrix at 10 and 20 wt%, and a bioglass-free cement served as a control. Physicochemical characterization included FTIR, XRD, setting time measurements, compressive strength, in vitro bioactivity evaluation, and chemical stability analysis. Results showed that bioglass addition shortened setting times and increased ion release but disrupted α-TCP hydrolysis, preventing hydroxyapatite formation. Compressive strength decreased due to poor interfacial bonding between α-TCP and bioglass. These findings highlight the need for formulation optimization to balance mechanical integrity, ion release, and bioactivity in bone substitute development.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science publishes reviews, full-length papers, and short Communications recording original research results on, or techniques for studying the relationship between structure, properties, and uses of materials. The subjects are seen from international and interdisciplinary perspectives covering areas including metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites, and biological and biomedical materials. The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as the leading source of primary communication for scientists investigating the structure and properties of all engineering materials.
