Glass-ceramics, or composites with a glass-ceramic matrix prepared by controlled
crystallization, almost invariably contain a residual glass phase. A suitable composition for …

In the present study we used an established cell culture model to compare Bioglass 45S5
with four other bioactive glasses. Small substitutions or additions of certain ions like iron …

This review deals with the application of Raman spectroscopy to the study of the
biocompatibility of orthopaedic and ophthalmological materials and includes an introduction …

We conducted an AFM analysis of roughness on 7 materials widely used in bone
reconstruction. Roughness was evaluated by measuring Root Mean Square (RMS) values …

Room temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and temperature dependent
magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed to investigate the effect of iron …

Two bioactive silica-phosphate glasses, AP40 and RKKP, were compared in their behaviour
in simulated biological environment. Their chemical composition is practically identical …

Raman spectra were obtained directly in a non‐destructive and non‐invasive way from the
biomaterials PMMA [poly (methyl methacrylate)], HDPE (high‐density polyethylene), α …

The authors propose a model to explain the initial difficulties in achieving adhesion between
bio-active glasses and bone. It is explained that in vitro tests involve biophysical situations …

Surgeons have been more successful in reconstructing or replacing hard tissues, that is
bone and teeth, than soft tissue. Metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites are commonly …

Cell adhesion is a ubiquitous process that influences many aspects of cell behavior. At low
concentrations of hyaluroic acid, the collagen fibers were not fully coated, and areas of both …
