The current work aims to produce bioceramics composites reinforced with novelty nanostructured fillers that may be a turning point for bioceramics.
The choice of silicene came because of its unique properties and is considered the next generation after graphene.
Hydroxyapatite and Tri-calcium phosphate were selected as vital basic materials as a starting point in this work. A number of composite materials were synthesized as a result of the synthesis of these two materials at rates. As well as the reinforcement of the base materials individually and composite with silicene fillers percentage (1, 3, 5) %.
Powder technology is the method adopted for preparing samples for Mechanical ,Physical, Biological tests as well as composition (XRD, SEM) as two tests analysis the general behaviour of the materials produced in this work.
The results showed the positive effect of adding silicene on the general properties of the base and composite materials, as well as obtaining unique cases by involving more than one property that improves, as well as the absence of all the materials used from the toxic effect.
