Abstract
Doping Sr has the potential to enhance bioceramic properties. However, controlling purity, Sr concentration, and properties is crucial. Therefore, precise evaluation of synthesis variables is essential, achieved through experimental design techniques. This study synthesized Sr-doped calcium silicate wollastonite using a Plackett–Burman design with 11 variables to identify key factors affecting synthesis yield and physical, structural, and chemical attributes for tissue engineering. Results indicate that the strontium proportion significantly impacts material properties, affecting porosity, surface area, and pore volume. Moreover, observations reveal that calcination temperature contributes to heightened crystallinity and strontium doping. Adjusting calcium and strontium precursor concentrations while reducing the silicon to calcium and strontium ratio improves efficiency crystallinity, purity, and promotes the formation of the preferred β-CaSiO3 phase. Overall, consistent and reproducible findings provide valuable insights into the variables influencing the process and facilitate optimization for future ceramic synthesis.
