Novel tricalcium silicate (Ca 3 SiO 5 ) ceramics were successfully fabricated. The mechanical properties of the ceramics were dependent remarkably on sintering temperature. The fracture toughness, Young's modules, and bending strength of Ca 3 SiO 5 ceramics sintered at 1500°C were 1.93 MPa · m 1/2 , 36.7 GPa, and 93.4 MPa, respectively. These findings suggest that the Ca 3 SiO 5 ceramics possess good mechanical properties, and might be a potential bone implant material. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
