Artigo IPEN-doc 27434 Influence of silicon, strontium and aluminum oxides on silicon nitride ceramics for bone replacements2020 - NASCIMENTO, SERGIO F. do; RODAS, ANDREA C.D.; CARVALHO, FLAVIO M. de S.; HIGA, OLGA Z.; SILVA, CECILIA C.G. eAlthough silicon nitride ceramics have been shown very propitious to be used for bone replacements, some characteristics can be controlled to improve their osseointegrations process. One of them is the intergranular phase whose composition can be specified to stimulate mineralization and osteoblastic production. In this paper, the intergranular glassy phase was projected in order to contain silicon, strontium and aluminum oxides. Silicon nitride samples containing different contents of SiO2, SrO and Al2O3 were sintered at 1815oC for 1 hour and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Hardness and fracture toughness were determined by Vickers hardness test and compressive strength was evaluated using an universal material testing machine. The biological behavior was studied in regard to cytotoxicity and cell proliferation by means of in vitro experiments. The samples reached high densities (higher than 95 %TD), total α→β-Si3N4 transformation, fracture toughness higher than 6.5 MPa.m1/2, compressive strength up to 2500 MPa and Vickers hardness less than 9.8 GPa. All samples were non-cytotoxic and able to promote cell proliferation with great potential to be used as components for bone replacements. However, that sample with high content of strontium had the best results of cell proliferation, proving the importance of a careful choice of intergranular phase composition in silicon nitride ceramics.Artigo IPEN-doc 27195 Silicon nitride with titania, calcia and silica additives for orthopaedic applications2020 - GUEDES-SILVA, CECILIA C.; RODAS, ANDREA C.D.; CARVALHO, FLAVIO M.S.; HIGA, OLGA Z.; FERREIRA, THIAGO S.Titanium, silicon and calcium ions have demonstrated positive effects in bone healing. Therefore, this paper investigates the densification, mechanical properties and in vitro biological behaviour of TiO2, together with SiO2 and CaO, on silicon nitride ceramics to be used in clinical applications. The results revealed that the sintered samples reached high values of relative density and fracture toughness, non-cytotoxicity as well as good ability to promote cell proliferation and form a layer of carbonated hydroxyapatite on their surfaces, after immersion in simulated body fluid. The sample with the highest amount of TiO2 reached the highest value of relative density and the best results of cell proliferation and fracture toughness, indicating the great potential to be explored by in vivo experiments for later application as intervertebral devices.Artigo IPEN-doc 25100 Microstructure, mechanical properties and in vitro biological behavior of silicon nitride ceramics2018 - GUEDES-SILVA, CECILIA C.; RODAS, ANDREA C.D.; SILVA, ANTONIO C.; RIBEIRO, CHRISTIANE; CARVALHO, FLAVIO M. de S.; HIGA, OLGA Z.; FERREIRA, THIAGO dos S.The bioinert surface of silicon nitride ceramics led us to investigate the additions of SiO2, CaO and Al2O3 in order to aid the liquid phase sintering and improve the mechanical properties and biological behavior of the final materials. The sintered materials reached ca. 97% of theoretical density and total α→β-Si3N4 transformation. The samples had relatively high values of fracture toughness while their elastic modulus values were lower than those of conventional silicon nitride ceramics. Apatite deposits were observed on the surfaces analyzed after SBF (simulated body fluid) immersions, suggesting their bioactivity. Osteoblasts proliferation and calcified matrix were also detected as response to cells/ materials contact. This combination of properties suggests that all studied compositions are promising for applications in biomedical devices. Moreover, compositions with alumina additions and higher silica content had better in vitro biological behavior, densification and mechanical properties, suggesting greater potential to be used in bone substitute devices.Artigo IPEN-doc 22761 Biocompósitos de nitreto de silício: caracterização e avaliação biológica in vitro2016 - GUEDES-SILVA, C.C.; RODAS, A.C.D.; RIBEIRO, C.; CARVALHO, F.M.S.; GENOVA, L.A.; FERREIRA, T.S.; HIGA, O.Z.Silicon nitride has been increasingly considered for biomedical applications owing to their high mechanical properties, osseointegration, bactericidal capacity and radiolucent characteristics. This study aims to evaluate the potential of silicon nitride ceramics containing silica and calcia in appropriate concentrations to have a bioactive intergranular phase, formed by a bioglass without phosphorus. Samples with 20 wt.% additives were sintered at 1815oC for 1 h under N2 atmosphere and analyzed in regard to density, crystalline phases, morphology and grain size as well as phases' distribution. Biological assessments by means of bioactivity tests in SBF (Simulated Body Fluid), cytotoxicity and osteoblast adhesion of MG63 cell line were performed. The results showed that samples reached around 97% of the theoretical density, high αβ-Si3N4 transformation and bioactivity evidenced by apatite formation on samples surface after testing in SBF. Silicon nitride samples exhibited non-cytotoxic and biocompatible behavior for propagation of human bone cells in vitro, demonstrating the high potential to be used as prosthetic devices and components.Resumo IPEN-doc 09640 Cytotoxic evaluation of silicon nitride based ceramics2003 - GUEDES e SILVA, C.C.; HIGA, O.Z.; BRESSIANI, J.C.
