From bioengineering perspective, integration of biological/organic compounds into the chemobrionic structures hold great promise for obtaining functional materials. The present study aimed to development of bioactive and biomimetic material by the incorporation of Arthrospira platensis microalgae into chemobrionics. The developed material, which will be called biochemobrionic, was constructed by the controlled injection of microalgae-containing magnesium/calcium solution into silicate/phosphate solution. Incorporation of microalgal biomass and extract was confirmed by several characterization analysis. Furthermore, it was proven that incorporation of A. platensis extract improved the mechanical strength of the chemobrionics. Finally, cytotoxicity, biodegradability, and antioxidant activity assays were performed to explore the potential of extract-incorporated biochemobrionics as bioactive materials. Results showed that chemobrionic and biochemobrionic materials did not show remarkable cytotoxicity and integration of microalgal extract exhibited antioxidant activity at considerable levels. According to the findings, incorporation of microalgal product into chemobrionics may expand the scope of these structures and open new routes for potential application areas.
