The current study reports the use of silver (Ag) and samarium (Sm) as dopants to improve
the properties of standard bioglass in terms of biological performance. This experiment …

The proposal of this research activity is to produce sol-gel-derived quaternary bioactive
glass (SiO 2–P 2 O5–CaO–Na 2 O) thin films, co-doped with europium and silver, by two …

In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of cerium and silver co-substituted bioglass
coatings are reported. First, a SiO 2–P 2 O 5–CaO–Na 2 O-type bioglass containing 3 mol …

Bioactive materials play an increasingly important role in the biomaterials industry, and are
extensively used in a range of applications, including biodegradable metallic implants. We …

Abstract In this study, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in Attenuated Total
Reflectance mode was employed as main characterization technique to investigate the …

Silicate (13-93) and borate (13-93-B3) bioactive glass coatings were successfully deposited
on titanium using the nanosecond Pulsed Laser Deposition technique. The coatings' …

Bioactive glasses of different composition were ablated in vacuum with an ArF laser to
investigate the transfer of the multi-component system to titanium substrates. Both the …

Laser cladding by powder injection has been used to produce bioactive glass coatings on
titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) substrates. Bioactive glass compositions alternative to 45S5 …

Bioactive glasses are osteoproductive-type inorganic materials possessing the highest
indices of bioactivity in both bulk and thin film forms. The prerequisites for reliable implant …

Abstract Thin (380–510 nm) films of a low silica content bioglass with MgO, B 2 O 3, and CaF
2 as additives were deposited at low-temperature (150° C) by radio-frequency magnetron …
