Abstract Gallium-containing biomaterials are considered promising for reconstructing osteoporotic bone defects, owing to the potent effect of gallium on restraining osteoclast activities. Nevertheless, the gallium-containing biomaterials were demonstrated to disturb the osteoblast activities. In this study, tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bioceramics were modified by gallium doping in conjunction with incorporation of calcium silicate (CS). The results indicated that the incorporation of CS promoted transition of β-TCP to α-TCP, and accelerated densification process, but did not improve the mechanical strength of bioceramics. The silicon released from the composite bioceramics diminished the inhibition effect of released gallium on osteoblast activities, and maintained its effect on restraining osteoclast activities. The TCP-based bioceramics doped with 2.5 mol% gallium and incorporated with 10 mol% CS are considered suitable for treating the bone defects in the osteoporotic environment.

This study reports the enhanced mechanical resistance of the composite bioceramics of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) used as bone substitute. HAP/β-TCP mixture was prepared by wet mixing of powders and characterized. Effects of powder manufacturing and sintering temperature on the densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were studied. The rupture strength (σr) was calculated using the Brazilian test. At 1250 °C, the relative density and mechanical strength of the HAP/β-TCP ceramics reached the maximum value of 89% and 43 MPa, respectively. Experimental results were modeled by the finite element method to determine the stress distribution in the compacted disc.

Wollastonite is a calcium silicate mineral natural or synthetic. Commercial wollastonite starts to melt at about 1450°C and can not be considered a "flux" as alkali feldspar. For this function, it depends on the reaction with other raw materials. Faced with this, came the goal of this work which was to investigate the mechanism of action of wollastonite as a ceramic flux. The use of wollastonite in ceramic bodies was investigated by analysis of its reactivity with other materials such as quartz, kaolin, talc and feldspar. It was analyzed the technological properties of the final parts, especially in relation to the firing temperature, phase formation and technological properties (mechanical strength, porosity, etc.). The results of this characterization showed that the technical properties of the parts are developed according to commercial porcelain products.

We discovered that calcium silicate is an effective reinforcement phase to improve the corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and biological performance of Mg or Mg-based alloys to overcome their major drawbacks for orthopedic implant applications.
