Abstract
This study investigates Mg-SiO₂ nanocomposites as biodegradable implants. The addition of hollow silica nanoparticles (0.5, 1, and 1.5 vol.%) progressively increased yield and compressive strength, with Mg-1.5 vol.% SiO₂ showing superior enhancement. Nanocomposites exhibited lower corrosion rates than pure Mg, and 1 vol.% SiO₂ addition showed the highest osteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation. Mg-0.5 vol.% SiO₂ showed the best corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Computational modeling compared the nanocomposite's properties to other mandibular reconstruction biomaterials.
