Study of the lyophilic properties and cytotoxity of nanostructured bioceramics based on the ZrO2–Y2O3–СeO2 and ZrO2–Y2O3–Al2O3 systems

Abstract

By the coprecipitation method, ceramic nanomaterials based on zirconia (t-ZrO₂) with high tetragonality have been synthesized. The hydrophilic nature of the ceramic surface upon wetting with different liquids is established. By the method of culturing animal and human cells in vitro, it is revealed that the material shows no inhibitory effect on morphology and cell proliferation. The biocompatibility of the studied material based on t-ZrO₂ with living cells has been proven, and prediction has been made to retain these properties during its implantation into the human body.
