Abstract
AbstractThe effect of incorporation of titanium oxide (TiO2) and hydroxyapatite (HA) on the mechanical properties of wollastonite (CaSiO3) was investigated in this study. TiO2/CaSiO3/HA composites ...

Bone-related diseases as well as injuries have become quite frequent in recent times
The release of ions from calcium silicates could promote gene expression and aid in the efficiency of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) which is related to cell proliferation
The value obtained was proved to be a significant increase from the theoretical value of density for wollastonite (2.90 g/cm3) (Aly et al, 2016), approximately 8.6% higher
Summary
Bone-related diseases as well as injuries have become quite frequent in recent times. Bones are under a lot of stress, especially load-bearing bones such as the femur and tibia, and as a result the bone fractures and the surrounding tissues are damaged. This has lead to researchers attempting to develop a biomaterial which is capable of imitating a real bone in terms of durability and reliability (Garcia, Miranzo, & Sainz, 2018). Wollastonite is seen as a promising biomaterial due to its properties such as biocompatibility with human cells, compatibility with hard tissues as well as not being toxic (Lin et al, 2005; MagallanesPerdomo et al, 2010; Risbud, Saheb, Jog, & Bhonde, 2001; Tamimi et al, 2008; Zhang, Molenda, Fournelle, Murphy, & Sahai, 2010). TiO2/CaSiO3/HA composites were prepared and characterized by means of physical and mechanical properties
