Boron is considered to influence the performance of several metabolic enzymes and boron
deficiency is associated with impaired growth and abnormal bone development. As such …

The glass transition temperature (T g) is a kinetic property of major importance for both
fundamental and applied glass science. In this study, we designed and trained an artificial …

Phosphate-based glasses (PBG) have low melting temperatures and can be obtained by
melt-quenching and sol-gel methods. The most significant characteristic of PBG is their …

Novel cerium‐(Ce) and gallium (Ga)‐doped phosphate glasses (PGs) are successfully
obtained by the peroxidation method. The new glasses are characterized using Fourier …

Articular cartilage with limited ability of regeneration remains a grand challenge in the field
of tissue engineering. Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogel with low friction coefficient have …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are promising implants due to the similarity of their low-
friction behavior to that of cartilage tissue, and also due to their non-cytotoxicity. However …

In this work, different phosphate glasses in the Na 2 O–K 2 O–CaO–P 2 O 5, Na 2 O–K 2 O–
CaO–Al 2 O 3–P 2 O 5 and Na 2 O–K 2 O–CaO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2–P 2 O 5 systems are …

The effect of BaTiO 3 on the mechanical, thermal and radiation shielding properties of the
borate glass with the composition of (60-x) B 2 O 3+ 10MgO+ 15Na 2 O+ 15CaO+ (x) BaTiO …

New phosphate glass fibers based on natural phosphate and different minerals can be used
as formulations of slow-release fertilizers. These fibers were successfully developed by …

This work presents manufacturing, processing and characterisation of the phosphate glass
fibre (PGF) products for biomedical applications, including multifilament PGF strands, yarns …
