Sol–gel chemistry offers a flexible approach to obtaining a diverse range of materials. It
allows differing chemistries to be achieved as well as offering the ability to produce a wide …

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to show bonding to bone, and they are
successfully used for bone regeneration. They can degrade in the body at a rate matching …

In this study four series of single and mixed alkali glass systems were made and
investigated using MAS NMR. Additionally the densities of the glasses were measured …

Bioactive glasses (BG) are used as bone substitutes and re-mineralising additives in
toothpastes. They work by precipitating apatite on their surface, and the network connectivity …

Fluoride prevents dental cavities, stimulates bone mineralisation and decreases the melting
temperature of glasses and is therefore an interesting component of bioactive glasses for …

The role of P 2 O 5 on the structure of CaO–SiO 2–P 2 O 5 and CaO–SiO 2–TiO 2–P 2 O 5
glasses was identified using Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR), Raman and Magic …

Strontium substitution has been found to have a beneficial effect on tissue growth in
traditional bioglasses. In this paper, we have studied the effect of SrO/CaO substitution on …

A new bioactive CaO–MgO–CaF 2–SiO 2 glass system with Na 2 O/MgO and P 2 O 5/SiO 2
substitutions was produced by the melting and quenching methods. Different properties of …

The effect of the variation in phosphate (P2O5) content on the structure of two series of
bioactive glasses in the quaternary system SiO2–Na2O–CaO–P2O5 was studied. The first …

We report on the bioactivity of two series of glasses in the SiO 2–Na 2 O–CaO–P 2 O 5
system after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) after 21 days. The effect of P 2 O 5 …
