Abstract: | The aim of this work was synthesis and characterization of amorphous and crystallized 58S nanopowders produced via sol‐gel method. According to the thermal analysis, the nanopowders were heat‐treated at 600°C and 1100°C. X‐ray diffraction results revealed that the phases of Wollastonite and tricalcium phosphate were formed at 1100°C. The in vitro tests showed that hydroxyl carbonate apatite was precipitated on both crystallized and amorphous nanopowders, while amorphous nanopowder showed a higher bioactivity than that of crystallized nanopowder. In contrast, mechanical properties of crystallized specimen were higher than those of amorphous specimen. |
