| Summary: | Diopside has been successfully prepared by a modified sol-gel method.Optimization in calcination temperature and mechanical ball milling resulted in a pure and nano-sized powder which characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X- ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FT–IR). We hypothesized that nano-sized diopside would mimic more efficiently the nanocrystal structure and function of natural bone apatite, owing to the higher surface area, compare to conventional micron-size diopside. Accordingly, we used the unique advantage of nanotechnology to improve novel nanodiopside particles as a potential candidate for bone tissue regeneration whether as a peri- implant filling powder or in combination with other biomaterials as a composite scaffold. |
