Abstract
Composite glass systems without SiO2 have attracted research interest to solve the challenges associated with SiO2 glass-based bioactive materials. Herein, we synthesized phosphate glass composites, which involves CaO–ZnO–P2O5 glass (composed of orthophosphate (Q0) or pyrophosphate (Q1) groups)) and a small amount of P2O5 glass (composed of metaphosphate (Q2) groups), by melt quenching. The effects of the added P2O5 glass content on the in vitro bioactivity were then investigated. From the simulated body fluid (SBF) test, the maximum weight gain values were obtained regardless of the base glass, and spherical precipitates were observed on the sample surface with 2 wt.% added P2O5 by SEM. The addition of ≥ 3 wt.% P2O5 glass decreased the weight gain, retained the structure of the sample, and increased the size of the spherical precipitates. The spherical precipitates were Ca–Zn phosphate compounds presumed by XRD analysis to be a mixture of Ca–Zn hydroxyapatite and parascholzite. Among the samples comprising P2O5 glass, the Q0 group glass-based composites exhibited larger weight gain than the Q1 group glass-based composites. Therefore, three factors are crucial in the precipitation and growth of phosphate compounds on the sample surface in the in vitro test: (1) promoted dissolution of the P component in the SBF solution; (2) increased abundance of Q0, which is the starting point of precipitation; and (3) co-existence of dissolution and precipitation in separate glasses.
