Ca₂Si₂O₆ is a calcium silicate ceramic compound belonging to the pyroxene family of silicates, characterized by a chain silicate structure with calcium cations. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for biomedical and construction applications, where its chemical stability, biocompatibility potential, and hydraulic binding properties make it relevant to bone scaffolding, dental cements, and sustainable concrete formulations as an alternative or supplement to conventional Portland cement phases.
