Tissue engineering has acquired remarkable attention as an alternative strategy to treat and restore bone defects during recent years. A scaffold is a fundamental component for tissue engineering, on which cells attach, proliferate and differentiate to form new desirable functional tissue. The composition, and structural features of scaffolds, including porosity and pore size, play a fundamental role in the success of tissue-engineered construct. This review summarizes the effect of porosity and pore size of bioceramic-based scaffolds on their mechanical properties and biological performances. The focus of this review is on scaffolds with porosities 40% and above. From the mechanical point of view, the degree of porosity is a more important factor than pore size and scaffolds with porosities greater than 40% were more likely to substitute trabecular bones. While for in vitro and in vivo performances, pore size appeared more influential feature and co-existence of macropores and micropores led to better bone formation.

Artificial neural network investigation of hardness and fracture toughness of hydroxylapatite Evis, Zafer (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) Hardness and fracture toughness of hydroxylapatite were investigated by artificial neural network (ANN). Hardness and fracture toughness of hydroxylapatite were predicted by using its sintering temperature, sintering time, relative density, and grain size with ANN. It was found that prediction results of its hardness and fracture toughness closely matched with the experimental results. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
Calcium zirconium silicate (baghdadite) ceramic as a biomaterial Jodati, Hossein; Yilmaz, Bengi; Evis, Zafer (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) Bioceramics have been widely used for many years to restore and replace hard tissues including bones, teeth and mineralized matrices such as calcified cartilages at osteochondral interfaces, mainly because of their physicochemical similarity with these tissues. Calcium silicate based bioceramics have been shown to possess high bioactivity due to having high apatite-forming ability and stimulating cell proliferation, as well as biodegradability at rates appropriate to hard tissue regeneration. The outstandin...
Hydrothermal synthesis of Yb-doped BiFeO3 crystallites and their structural, magnetic and electrical properties Özdilek, Çağrı (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.The influence of Yb doping on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) was investigated. Well-crystallized BiFeO3 (BFO) and Yb-doped BiFeO3 powders (Bi1-xYbxFeO3: x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1) were successfully synthesized via a typical hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that powders have a distorted rhombohedral structure with a space group of R3c. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) studies indica...
Facile control of hydroxyapatite particle morphology by utilization of calcium carbonate templates at room temperature Oral, Çağatay M.; Çalışkan, Arda; Kapusuz, Derya; Ercan, Batur (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) particles are widely used in orthopedic applications due to their chemical resemblance to the inorganic component of bone tissue. Since physical and chemical properties of HAp particles influence bone regeneration, various synthesis techniques were developed to precisely control the particle properties. However, most of these techniques required high reaction temperatures, which limited the spectrum of obtained HAp particle morphologies. In this study, ellipsoidal,...
The effect of biphasic electrical stimulation on osteoblast function at anodized nanotubular titanium surfaces Ercan, Batur (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) Over the past decade, nanotechnology (or the use of materials with dimensions less than 100 nm in at least one direction) has been proposed to improve the lifespan of many biomedical devices, including orthopedic implants. Specifically, to improve the cytocompatibility properties of currently used orthopedic implants, nanotechnology has been used to create nanometer surface features (through anodization) on titanium. In addition to this approach, another therapeutic method widely investigated to heal bone f...
