Reaction Steps

For generating silicic acid, tetraethoxy silane (TEOS, 99%, Sigma) is hydrolyzed by addition of water and hydrochloric acid (10 mmol) as catalyst at 4° C. for 24 hours. The molar ratio of tetraethoxy silane to water is 1:4. This solution serves as the silicate component and is supplied to the collagen suspension that is enriched with calcium phosphate and is mixed intensively. After a few minutes a hydrogel is formed.
