The high brittleness and low strength of bioactive ceramics have severely restricted their
application in bone repair despite the fact that they have been regarded as one of the most …

With improvement of orthopaedic technologies for bone replacement and regeneration,
there is an increasing need for materials with superior properties. Mg-containing silicate …

Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) ceramics were prepared by sintering the Mg2SiO4 green compacts at
1350–1550° C and the sintering behavior and mechanical properties were examined. The …

A number of coating materials have been developed over past two decades seeking to
improve the osseointegration of orthopedic metal implants. Despite the many candidate …

Recently, forsterite (Mg2SiO4) has been introduced as a possible bioceramics due to its
good biocompatibility. It has a better bending strength and fracture toughness than those of …

Developments in the field of materials science are contributing to providing solutions for the
recycling of industrial residues to develop new materials. Such approaches generate new …

Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) because of its exceptionally high fracture toughness which is close to
that of cortical bones has been nominated as a possible successor to calcium phosphate …

The sintering, crystallization and mechanical behavior of three glass compositions in the SiO
2-Al 2 O 3-MgO/ZnO system were investigated. Partial substitution of MgO by ZnO causes a …

This study investigates the synthesis of single-phase nanocrystalline forsterite powder by
mechanical activation with subsequent annealing. To produce forsterite powder, a mixture of …

Diopside–albite glass–ceramics were fabricated by sintering the powder mixtures of
crystallization promoters and waste glass. Two kinds of promoters were synthesized using …
