Abstract:Nanoscale bioactive glasses and their composites with polymers gained attention of scientific community due to their biocompatibility. The combinations of bioactive glass (nanoparticles or nanofibers) with polymers have been proven good biocompatible and have been applied successfully in various fields. In his article, the types of bioactive glasses (silicate, phosphate and borate), compositions of various bioactive glasses, bioactivity mechanisms, characteristics, fabrication techniques were overviewed.
