Abstrakt: Nanotechnology has a great potential to improve biomaterials used in tissue engineering. Nano-bioceramics are preferable compared to their micro-scale counterparts, because of their increased surface area, improving both mechanical properties and apatite-forming ability due to the increased nucleation sites provided. Elements such as Si, Ca and Mg used for the synthesis of bioglasses have a significant effect on bone metabolism, they are particularly important for bone regeneration and this type of glasses present a high residual glassy phase, high hardness values and hydroxyapatite-forming ability. Cu, a trace element of the human body, is known to play a significant role in angiogenesis, which is the basic requirement for new bone formation. The aim of the present work was the synthesis of Sol-Gel derived nano-bioceramics of the quaternary system SiO2-CaO-MgO-CuO and the evaluation of the ball milling effect on the particle size, morphology and bioactive behavior.
