Abstract
Silica-based porous bioactive ceramics was prepared by gel-casting method using silica xerogel powder. Xerogel was derived from rice husk ash. 42 vol.% solid containing slurry was prepared in 1:30 (MBAM:AM) monomer cross-linker solution. The srurry was thixotropic. Gel-casted body was machined efficiently. Dired cast body was sintered at 1100oC. Apatite layer was formed on silica body during In vitro bioactivity experiment. The results suggest that the gel-casted silica ceramics can be used as a bioceramics.
