What is Microstructural characterization and in vitro apatite formation in CaO–P2O5–TiO2–MgO–Na2O glass-ceramics about?
Bulk calcium phosphate glass and glass±ceramic with CaO/P 2 O 5 molar ratio=1.25 were prepared through introducing small amounts of Na 2 O, MgO, and TiO 2 into the glass. Using XRD analysis, biocompatible b-Ca 2 P 2 O 7 (b-DCP) and more soluble Ca and Na-containing phases were clearly identi®ed in the microstructure. In vitro bioactivity was assessed by immersion testing in SBF-simulated body ̄uid and apatite crystals were formed after 4 and 8 weeks of soaking. Porous microstructure was produced through dissolution of soluble phases and desirable porous structure may be achieved by controlling size and distribution of these phases and the leaching process. Therefore, this glass±ceramic is expected to be used as bone repair and regeneration implants and drug delivery carrier.
