  • Mechanical testing using three-point bending tests.

    • Main Results:

    • Synthesized crack-free hybrid monoliths exhibited in vitro bioactivity, forming a calcium phosphate layer in SBF.
    • Increased PDMS content decreased the elastic modulus of the hybrid materials.
    • Reduced water (H2O) content during tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) hydrolysis increased the elastic modulus.
    • Optimal material properties were achieved with H2O/TEOS molar ratio of 2 and TEOS/PDMS molar ratio of 3.5.

    Conclusions:

    • CaO-SiO2-PDMS hybrid materials demonstrate promising in vitro bioactivity and tunable mechanical properties.
    • The optimized hybrid material (H2O/TEOS=2, TEOS/PDMS=3.5) is a strong candidate for soft tissue substitution or metallic implant coating.
    • This material promotes bone formation and can dampen mechanical loads, beneficial for orthopedic applications.
