In the present study, undoped whitlockite and ZnO doped-Whitlockite, which is the second most abundant inorganic material in bone structure, were synthesized from sea urchin skeleton. The obtained bioceramic ma-terials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and SEM and their antibacterial activities were determined using the inhibition zone diameters of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as gram negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacterium after 24 h incubation. The characterization studies showed that nano size homogenous biocereamic whitlockite (Ca2.86Mg0.14(PO4)(2)) was synthesized from the sea urchin skeleton. After dopping process, the main structure of the whitlockite keeps stable, showing a dopping concentration-independent character. On the other hand, the peaks belonging to ZnO were started to seen in the XRD pattern with increasing the level of ZnO-concentration (after 7 %). All experimental results point out that the obtained whitlockites are viable nominate candidates for bioceramic materials and the results of antibacterial sensitivity prove the inhibitory effect towards Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus for ZnO-doped-whitlockite.

Manufacture of macroporous calcium hydroxyapatite bioceramics
Engin, NO; Tas, AC (1999-01-01)
Trabecular bones of almost all vertebrate organisms basically consist of macroporous (55-70% interconnected porosity) bone mineral, i.e. calcium hydroxyapatite (HA: Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)). The macroporosity observed in the trabecular bones then allows the ingrowth of the soft tissues and organic cells into the bone matrix. Sub-micron, chemically uniform, and high phase-purity HA powders produced in our laboratory were mixed, under vigorous ultrasonification, with methyl cellulose of appropriate amounts in th...
Synthesis and characterization of pure and Mg, Cu, Ag, and Sr doped calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite from brushite as precursor using the dissolution-precipitation method
Lakrat, Mohammed; Jodati, Hossein; Mejdoubi, El Miloud; Evis, Zafer (2023-01-01)
Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) is an attractive biomaterial for medical applications due to its similarity with the mineral part of bones. This study presents, for the first time, the preparation of CDHA form brushite as a starting precursor through dissolution-precipitation process. To further enhance its potential in vivo performance, CDHA was doped with some biologically relevant ions such as Mg2+, Sr2+, Cu2+, and Ag+. X-ray diffraction and ATR-FTIR analyses indicated that the samples were poorl...
Synthesis and sintering of B, Sr, Mg multi-doped hydroxyapatites: Structural, mechanical and biological characterization
Yedekçi, Buşra; Tezcaner, Ayşen; DEMİR, TEYFİK; Evis, Zafer (2021-03-01)
Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) is the main constituent mineral of bone and teeth in mammals. Due to its outstanding biocompatibility and osteoconductive capabilities, it is preferred for bone repair and replacement. Owing to high potential to have excellent biological properties, ternary ions-doped HAs have just begun to be investigated in the biomedical field and preparing multi-doped HAs is a fairly new approach. Boron (B, BO33-), strontium (Sr, Sr2+) and magnesium (Mg, Mg2+) provide a benefici...

In recent years, bulk amorphous alloys and nanocrystalline materials have been synthesized in a number of ferrous and non-ferrous based alloys systems, which have gained some applications due to their unique physico-chemical and mechanical properties. In the last decade, Zr-based alloys with a wide supercooled liquid region and excellent glass forming ability have been discovered. These systems have promising application fields due to their mechanical properties; high tensile strength, high fracture toughne...
