Abstract
Bioactive glass (BG-45S5) production through the melting process is affected by a wide variety of parameters. This study investigated the synthesis of BG-45S5 granules and the process variables to produce a bioactive and osteoinductive BG for bone grafting applications. The melting process was initially analyzed by varying parameters such as crucible type and pouring environment using P2O5 as phosphorus precursor. The obtained products were characterized by crystalline phases, characteristic chemical groups, particle size distribution, and chemical composition. Materials poured into graphite or steel molds resulted in particle sizes more suitable for applications in granular form. Using a platinum crucible yielded a chemical composition closer to the target when compared with another ceramic crucible. Subsequently, the melting process was evaluated to different phosphorus precursor (P2O5 or Na2HPO4) and melting duration (1 or 2 h) in a platinum crucible verifying their effects on the thermal behavior, chemical composition and structure of BG-45S5. Employing Na2HPO4 as a precursor led to higher glass transition and crystallization temperatures as compared to P2O5, enhancing glass homogeneity and structural stability. The product with better characteristics in terms of composition and structure was further characterized for bioactivity and cell culture behavior, showing a greater amount of mineralization nodules when compared to commercial hydroxyapatite. This is particularly due to its behavior as the solubility and interaction in biological environments.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
