Silica‐doped hydroxyapatite (HA) is a promising material concerning biocompatibility to
natural bone, bioactivity and osteoconductive characteristics. HA exhibits phase …

A new glass formulation, with the molar composition 60% SiO2–35% CaO–5% P2O5, was
synthesized using the sol–gel process, for applications as biomaterial in orthopaedic or …

A new composition of bioactive glass, in the quaternary system SiO2–CaO–Na2O–P2O5,
was synthesized using melting and sol–gel routes. The prepared glass, 52S4:(wt.%) 52 …

The aim of this study is to report on the development and characterization of bioactive glass
and glass-ceramics from the 3CaO. P2O5-SiO2-MgO-system, using different degrees of …

Bioactive glasses were synthesized in an inexpensive hydrothermal chemical route by the
use of microwave energy irradiation. Compositional changes were carried out to synthesis …

In most biphasic composite systems consisting of sol-gel derived bioactive glass and a
second system that is usually used as a reinforcing agent, thorough stirring is necessary to …

In recent years, bioactive materials have become important in applications such as
implantation, bone regeneration, scaffold, oral implantation and antioxidant materials …

Bioactive glasses were discovered in 1969 and provided for the first time an alternative to
nearly inert implant materials. They formed a rapid, strong, and stable bond with host …

The pioneeristic work of Hench led to the development of a calcium sodium phosphosilicate
composition called 45S5 Bioglass®, which has been investigated extensively for …

The sintering properties of four established bioactive glasses and four novel glass
compositions within the range of interest for bioactivity were studied. The sintering behaviour …
