Bioglasses were sintered at 1400, 750, and 550 °C, using both melting and sol-gel methods. The different responses of bioglasses to different sintering temperatures were revealed. Particularly, increased crystallinity was observed in sol-gel-derived bioglass sintered at 750 °C, indicating a denser and more ordered structure. This crystalline architecture facilitated enhanced bioactivity, as demonstrated by increased hydroxyapatite deposition when immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF). Furthermore, superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility were achieved with this temperature regime, making it a prime candidate for bone regeneration applications. The bioglass sintered at 750 °C exhibited an accelerated degradation rate associated with its porosity, potentially contributing to faster material resorption in vivo. Its antibacterial efficacy against <i>E. coli</i> and <i>S. aureus</i> was also noted, and in vitro studies with MTT assay confirmed that the optimized sol-gel bioglass meets biocompatibility standards. These findings highlight the potential of fine-tuning the sintering temperature to modulate the crystallinity of bioglasses, thereby enhancing their application scope in bone tissue engineering.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","volume":"112 1","pages":"289 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142195932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two-step acid-base process starting from methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) in the presence of nonionic poly(ethylene oxide)-<i>block</i>-poly(propylene oxide)-<i>block</i>-poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant and the use of strong base as polycondensation catalyst resulted in fine mesoporous structure, showing low bulk density (0.148 g cm<sup>−3</sup>) and glasslike transparency (95% at 10 mm thickness). Cracking and irreversible shrinkage during APD have been prevented by optimized aging and drying processes. In particular, aging in an aqueous alcohol solution containing a low concentration of MTMS under controlled temperature has been found to be crucial in obtaining PMSQ aerogels with crack-free, low-density, glasslike transparency, and monolithic nature. A large-area APD aerogel in 93 × 93 × 6 mm<sup>3</sup>, with thermal conductivity of 15.6 mW m<sup>−1</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>, has successfully been obtained due to optimizations of aging and drying conditions.
