In this study, β-SiAlON ceramics were prepared by adding different contents of wollastonite to the raw materials. The effect of wollastonite on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of β-SiAlON was investigated. The results showed that the addition of wollastonite improved sintering performance, increased compressive strength, and resulted in tighter sample bonding. The material exhibited low ion release and stable chemical properties. Moreover, when the content of wollastonite was <12 wt%, the ceramics demonstrated good biocompatibility and unaffected bone formation.
The different content of wollastonite was added to raw materials to prepare beta-SiAlON ceramics; furthermore, in this study, the effect of wollastonite on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of beta-SiAlON was explored. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that Ca in beta-SiAlON was uniformly distributed; however, the addition of wollastonite did not lead to the formation of the Ca-alpha-SiAlON phase. Wollastonite addition improved the sintering performance and increased the compressive strength of beta-SiAlON ceramics. Moreover, SEM demonstrated that by adding wollastonite, the bonding of the sample became tighter. Ion release results demonstrated that the material had low ion release and stable chemical properties. Moreover, in cellular experiments, when the content of wollastonite is <12 wt% in beta-SiAlON ceramics, beta-SiAlON ceramics with or without Ca demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility. The presence of some amount of Ca did not affect the adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of the MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, when wollastonite is <12 wt%, culturing MC3T3-E1 cells in the leaching solution of beta-SiAlON ceramics confirmed that bone formation is unaffected. Thus, beta-SiAlON ceramics containing Ca (wollastonite <12 wt%) demonstrated good physical and chemical properties; however, the biological properties remain unaffected. Therefore, the ceramics that were prepared are bioactive materials having excellent properties.
