The work presented details the results of an investigation into the feasibility of using
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to directly produce customised bioceramic implants. The …

SrO-SiO2-Na2O-CaO-B2O3-P2O5 glasses have been prepared using the conventional
melting and annealing method. B2O3 content was systematically increased from 0 to 20 …

The aging population and increasing incidence of trauma among younger age groups have
heightened the increasing demand for reliable implant materials. Effective implant materials …

The objective of this work is to design and characterize crystallizable silicate and
borosilicate compositions for use in the production of smart, unconventional coatings on …

An initial investigation was held into the feasibility of producing bone replacement implants
from a bioactive glass-ceramic using the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process. The work …

Titanium and its alloys are widely used in load-bearing bioinert implants. Bioactive glasses
(BAGs) form a chemical bond with bone, but they are not suitable for load-bearing …

Bioactive coatings on metallic implants promote osseointegration between bone and implant
interfaces. A suitable coating enhances the life span of the implant and reduces the …

A bioactive glass with composition (wt%) 46SiO 2· 24CaO· 24Na 2 O· 6P 2 O 5 was
elaborated by melting method.“In vitro” experiments were carried out by soaking of glass …

Because of their excellent bioactivity, bioactive glasses are increasingly diffused to produce
biomedical devices for bone prostheses, to face the dysfunctions that may be caused by …

Bioactive glasses are promising materials for bone scaffolds due to their ability to assist in
tissue regeneration. When implanted in vivo, bioactive glasses can convert into …
