Mesoporous silica nanoparticles, methods of preparation and use of bone tissue engineering

Abstract

Biomaterials are a large group of vitally important materials with many different inorganic and organic types. Biocomposites are produced by using materials such as polymer, metal, and ceramics. Bone tissue engineering deals with materials that can mimic the real bone structure found in the body. These materials used in the human body must be capable of many aspects such as their mechanical strength related to the area where they are used, as well as their properties such as biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic. If the material is intended to treat the bone structure, it should be biodegradable, but it should be resistant to degradation if intended to be used for a long time. With the advance in technology, nanoparticles have become appealing in bone tissue engineering due to their many unique properties. In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been prominent biomaterials in the medical field due to their properties such as alterable size structure, large pore volume, and surface area. This study aims to give information about the biomedical properties, synthesis methods, and importance of MSNs with unique properties in bone tissue engineering applications. This study is compiled by examining many studies in the literature.
