Improvement bioactivity and bioresorbable of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics from calcium sodium phosphate glass system for artificial bone applications

Abstract

This research then has two main objectives. The first objective is to fabrication of bioactive glass ceramics containing BaFe12O19 (BF) crystals has been carried out for the application in hyperthermia treatment. The BaFe12O19 powder was firstly prepared and subsequently mixed with the non-silicate P2O5-CaO-Na2O bioactive glass with various BF concentrations. After that, the glass ceramics were produced via a sintering method at 600◦C and their crystal phases were examined by XRD and in vitro test was carried out by soaking in simulated body fluid. Remanence and saturation magnetization and coercivity were deduced from magnetic measurement. It was found that the samples exhibited magnetic behavior which is similar to hard magnetic materials. Our second objective is the effects of sintering temperatures on the physical, and bioactivity of SrFe12O19 (SF)-P2O5-CaO-Na2O bioglass ceramics were investigated. XRD results confirmed the existence of the strontium ferrite and calcium phosphate phases. SEM images showed that grain size, and hardness were related to density and liquid phase present in the samples. A maximum coercivity value of 3138 Oe was obtained for the bioglass ceramic sintered at 600 ºC. The remanence (Mr) and saturation magnetization (Ms) of the bioglass ceramic sintered at 500 ºC possess the maximum value of 6.35 and 10.64 emu/g, respectively. Moreover, the apatite was formed on the surface layers of the bioglass ceramics confirming their biocompatibility
