Bioactive glasses (BGs) and related glass-ceramic biomaterials have been used in bone
tissue repair for over 30 years. Previous work in this field was comprehensively reviewed …

Metal and in particular noble metal nanoparticles represent a very special class of materials
which can be applied as prepared or as composite materials. In most of the cases, two main …

Plasticized poly (lactic acid)(PLA) samples with embedded Cu-doped ZnO powder
functionalized with Ag nanoparticles composites were prepared by melt blending processing …

Owing to their fast but tunable degradation kinetics (in comparison to silicates) and excellent
bioactivity, the past decade has witnessed an upsurge in the research interest of …

Abstract A novel SiO 2-P 2 O 5-CaO-SrO-Ag 2 O bioactive glass containing from 0 to 10
mol% Ag 2 O was produced via the sol-gel method. The influence of silver content on in vitro …

Novel gallium/cerium-doped phosphate glass fibres (PGF) were successfully manufactured
by the melt-quenching and melt-spinning process. The amorphous character of the materials …

In the present study our interest is focused on finding the efficiency of 60SiO2·(32− x) CaO·
8P2O5· xCuO (mol%) glass-ceramics, with 0≤ x≤ 4 mol%, in terms of bioactivity …

Transitioning beyond a trial-and-error based approach for the compositional design of next-
generation borosilicate-based bioactive glasses requires a fundamental understanding of …

Most biomaterial‐associated infections are caused by opportunistic pathogens and bacteria
that are regularly found within the microflora of the implant site. In addition, a biomaterial …

The melt-quenching method is employed to prepare the amorphous phosphate glasses
containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The structural characteristics of phosphate glasses …
