Abstract

Composites based on several biocompatible inorganic compounds present oneself a class of promising materials that can be used to repair damaged areas of hard tissue. Development of these composites and their bioactivity establishing is paid a significant attention. Investigation of processes occurring at composite powder materials soaking based on poorly crystallized carbonate substituted hydroxyapatite and calcium silicate hydrate in Tris-buffer was performed in this work. Chemical composition analysis of solutions contacted with composites with varying calcium phosphate and calcium silicate contents was carried out. Examination of undissolved solid phases was performed by SEM, FTIR and LDA. The obtained results indicate that materials components gradually dissolve in Tris-buffer. Moreover, the samples resorption rate increases with the growth of calcium silicate hydrate content in materials composition. Precipitation of the apatite was repeatedly detected in experimental conditions; it designates a potentially high bioactivity of investigated synthetic mixtures.
