| Abstract Scope |
Diopside (Di) is a bioceramic with excellent bioactivity and mechanical property, due to its appropriate degradation rate and biocompatibility it can act as a bone substitute for bone tissue engineering. The study was focused on the development of a porous Di scaffold fabricated via the space holder (SH) technique. Rice Husk (RH) powder of different particle sizes was used as SH. Porous Di scaffold was characterized by means of X-ray Diffraction, SEM, the Archimedes method, and Compression tests. The result shows that Di scaffold has 45-50% apparent porosity and interconnected pore geometry with compressive strength in the range of (1.4-1.6 MPa). In vitro study was conducted by immersing the porous scaffold in the SBF solution for 21 days and apatite forming ability was examined through SEM and EDS analysis. The results suggest that scaffold can be used as a bone substitute for bone tissue engineering. |
