Thin films of bioactive glass-ceramic have been deposited on titanium substrates by the
Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique under different experimental conditions. The effect …

Bioglass® 45S5 is widely used in biomedical applications due to its ability to bond to bone
and even to soft tissues. The sintering ability of Bioglass® powders is a key factor from a …

Commercial melt-quenched bioactive glasses consist of the oxides of silicon, phosphorus,
calcium and sodium. Doping of the glasses with oxides of some other elements is known to …

This paper investigated the surface reactivity of two sets of glasses and glass ceramic
materials belonging to the Li2O–SiO2–CaO–P2O5–CaF2 system. The in vitro bioactivity of …

A type of bioglass (named Mg10) formed by the substitution of 10wt% Na2O with MgO in
Bioglass® 45S5 was designed and coated on the substrate Ti6Al4V by pulsed laser …

The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

This paper will report on research which aims to generate bone replacement components by
processing bioactive glass-ceramic powders using indirect selective laser sintering. The …

The mechanical strength of bioactive glasses can be improved by controlled crystallization,
turning its use as bulk bone implants viable. However, crystallization may affect the …

Certain glasses which contain specific amounts of SiO2, Na2O, CaO and P2O5 (bioglasses)
are of a limited number of materials forming strong chemical bonds with bone in vivo, while …

The first and foremost function of a tissue engineering scaffold is its role as a substrate for
cell attachment, and their subsequent growth and proliferation. However, cells do not attach …
