AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on creating economic calcium phosphate powders from recycled oyster shells through a ball milling technique and subsequent heat treatment at 1,050°C.
  • The process involved mixing oyster shell powder with calcium pyrophosphate and adding electrochemically synthesized mesoporous silicon microparticles before characterization.
  • Testing for biocompatibility showed that the resulting powders performed well with murine cells, indicating their suitability for potential applications.

Article Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the synthesis of economic calcium phosphate powders from recycled oyster shells, using a ball milling method. The oyster shell powder and a calcium pyrophosphate powder were used as starting materials and ball milled, then heat treated at 1,050°C for 5 h to produce calcium phosphate powders through a solid-state reaction. Electrochemically synthesized mesoporous silicon microparticles were then added to the prepared phosphate powders by mechanical mixer. The final powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy to analyze their chemical composition and determine the most suitable process conditions. The biocompatibility of the produced powders was also tested using murine cells and the results showed good biocompatibility.

Two decades of continuous progresses and breakthroughs in the field of bioactive ceramics and glasses driven by CICECO-hub scientists.

Bioact Mater

October 2024

Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering, CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Santiago University Campus, 3810-193, Aveiro, Portugal.

Over the past two decades, the CICECO-hub scientists have devoted substantial efforts to advancing bioactive inorganic materials based on calcium phosphates and alkali-free bioactive glasses. A key focus has been the deliberate incorporation of therapeutic ions like Mg, Sr, Zn, Mn, or Ga to enhance osteointegration and vascularization, confer antioxidant properties, and impart antimicrobial effects, marking significant contributions to the field of biomaterials and bone tissue engineering. Such an approach is expected to circumvent the uncertainties posed by methods relying on growth factors, such as bone morphogenetic proteins, parathyroid hormone, and platelet-rich plasma, along with their associated high costs and potential adverse side effects.
