Using the sol-gel process, glass powder was made. After the preparation method of the glass powder, x-ray analytical (XRD), particle size analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) were performed. The particle size analysis of manufactured glass (13-93) is found to be about 2.978 μm. (XRD) mode analysis suggested that the resulting porous scaffolds were amorphous. Using the process of salt leaching to create bioactive glass scaffolds (13-93) with structural and physical properties suitable for the human trabecular bone. XRD spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR after sintering at temperature 750 °C were used to investigate the microstructure and chemical bonding of the porous scaffolds. The synthesized scaffold was soaked in medium of the simulated body fluid (SBF) and examined by SEM and XRD analysis in order to evaluate bioactivity. From the SEM morphology analysis results, it was noticed that the scaffolds comprised open and interconnected pores with a porosity range of 75-78%. High bioactivity of pours scaffolds was reported to have been observed after soaking 7days in SBF media because of the formation of apatite layer on its surfaces. Keywords: bioactive glass (13-93), scaffold, salt leaching method, SBF, sol-gel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
