Summary:Silicate based bioceramics are promising candidates as biomaterials for tissue engineering. The combustion synthesis method provides control on the morphology and particle size of the synthesised material. This paper discusses the combustion synthesis of akermanite (Ca 2 MgSi 2 O 7 and Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 ), which has been shown to have good in vitro and in vivo bioactivities by earlier studies. Both Ca 2 MgSi 2 O 7 and Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 have akermanite structure. Ca 2 MgSi 2 O 7 and Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 were prepared using urea and ammonium nitrate. The combustion synthesis using urea and ammonium nitrate was found to be cost effective and efficient method of synthesis. The photoluminescence study of Ca 2 MgSi 2 O 7 : Eu and Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 : Eu shows host specific intense emission of Eu .
