Porous calcium silicate bioactive material-alginate composite for bone regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Bone tissue engineering aims to address bone-related problems that arise from trauma, infection, tumors, and surgery. Polymer and calcium silicate bioactive material (BM) based composites are commonly preferred as potential materials for bone treatment. However, the polymer has low bioactivity, thus, the current work aims to prepare a composite scaffold based on BM-sodium alginate (Alg) by varying the Alg percentage to optimize the porous nature of the composite. Primarily, the BM was synthesized by a simple precipitation method using rice husk and eggshell as the precursors of silica and calcium, while the BM-Alg composite was prepared by a facile cross-linking approach. The BM-Alg composite was studied using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and BET techniques. Further, an in vitro bioactivity stud
