Abstract
In this study, calcium silicate bioceramic materials of various Ca/Si ratios were prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate and calcium nitrate by a hydrothermal synthesis method, taking into consideration cost-effective and environmentally friendly, ‘green’, synthesis rules. For comparison purposes, sol-gel synthesis method was also used. Calcium silicate bioceramic materials produced by both methods were calcined at 600°C and 950°C. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Thermal Analysis, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction methods were used to characterize calcium silicate bioceramic materials. The characterization results validated the formation of calcium silicate materials.
