Investigation of the solubility and ion release in the glass system K2O–Na2O–CaO–P2O5

Craniofacial muscle engineering using a 3-dimensional phosphate glass fibre construct

“…The phosphate-based glasses that are the basis of such fibres have generated great interest because the rate of dissolution is related to the glass composition and is predictable and highly linear with time [17]. Increasing the mol% of calcium or adding metal ions can cause magnitude changes in solubility [22,38]. This is vitally important in designing materials to be used as tissue engineering scaffolds.…”

Glass-ionomer Cement SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, CaO, P2O5, F- Containing Alternative Additive of Zn and Sr Prepared by Sol–gel method

“…So, the addition of ZnO has a smaller disrupting effect on the structure and hence it will strengthen the network (31) . This result was in agreement with that of Boyd et al (32) who worked on a SrO-CaO-ZnO-SiO 2 glass ionomer composition and that of Abou Neel et al (33) who worked on Srdoped phosphate glasses.…”

Application of Solution Calorimetry to the Prediction of 20.15[(2.038 + x)SiO<sub>2</sub>-(1.457 － x)Na<sub>2</sub>O]-2.6-P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-26.95CaO Glass Bioactivity

“…The choice of bioactive glasses for implant applications requires design optimized compositions [1]. Thus, preparing bioactive glasses with different compositions, and evaluating their physicochemical properties, structural properties and chemical stabilities is crucial for the subsequent optimization of their biocompatibility [2,3]. Some compositions of glasses in the system SiO 2 -Na 2 O-CaO-P 2 O 5 , used as biomaterials, are able to form a bond with bone once they are implanted, such as the Bioglass [4,5].…”
