In-vitro analysis of bioactivity, hemolysis, and mechanical properties of Zn substituted Calcium Zirconium silicate (baghdadite)

In this work, for the first time, zinc substituted baghdadite (Ca3-xZnxZrSi2O9; x = 0, 0.1, 0.25 and, 0.5) ceramic was successfully prepared. A solid-state ceramic synthesis route was utilized to prepare a composite for biomedical applications. The incorporation of zinc oxide reduces the synthesis temperature. The properties of composites were presented in terms of Zinc oxide amount. In-vitro bioactivity and degradation results indicated lower...
