Abstract

Bioceramics with reduced grin size below 100 nm have superior mechanical properties and more bioactivity than conventional ceramics. The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize a novel hydroxyapatite-forsterite-bioactive glass composite nanopowder. The novel hydroxyapatite-forsterite-bioactive glass composite nanopowder was fabricated by incorporation of forsterite and bioactive glass nanopowder in hydroxyapatite matrix via a sol–gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transition electron microscopy (TEM) techniques were utilized in order to determine the phase composition, and evaluate the morphology and particle size of the synthesized nanopowders. The effect of the sintering temperature was also investigated. The results show that the appropriate temperature for desired calcination was 600°C and that the particle size of the prepared composite nanopowder was about 60–70 nm. The obtained results suggest that the prepared composite nanopowder might be a good candidate for biomedical applications.
