Abstract
The research to find an ideal bone substitute material is still ongoing. The majority of research is focused on calcium phosphates and predominantly on hydroxyapatite. However, forsterite, a magnesium silicate (FS, Mg2SiO4), has recently received a large attention in regards to biomedical applications due to its high bioactivity. Its superior mechanical properties also recommend it for load-bearing applications. This work focusses on the significance of the properties of FS as a promising candidate for bone substitutions.
