The need for a suitable scaffolding material for load bearing bone tissue engineering still has yet to be met satisfactorily. In this study, Portland cement and Portland cement/metakaolin (MK) blends were processed to render them biologically and mechanically suitable for such application. Portland cement was mixed with MK at different ratios. The slurries were hydrated under atmospheric (noncarbonated samples) and high-CO2 conditions (carbonated samples). The mechanical properties were characterized via compressive tests. The bioactivity was analyzed in a simulated body fluid solution. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to evaluate sample morphology and chemistry. The cytocompatibility (direct contact assay, MTT test, and alkaline phosphatase activity) was tested using human osteoblast-like cells. Cell responses were observed via conventional and electron microscopy. The results showed that the implementation of MK did not significantly influence the mechanical properties. All the samples evidenced bioactive behavior. Cell experiments confirmed a highly cytotoxic response to the noncarbonated specimens. The introduction of MK as well as the CO2 pretreatment significantly improved the cytocompatibility of the specimens. These results show that properly processed Portland cement and Portland cement/MK blends could present suitable properties for the development of load-bearing scaffolding structures in bone tissue-engineering applications.
