Glasses for bone regeneration: structural features controlling physical properties and ion release of bioactive glasses 45S5, S53P4 and 13-93

Abstract

average silicate network polymerisation, is similar. As a result, 13-93 shows the lowest crystallisation tendency of the three glasses but also reacts relatively slowly during contact with aqueous solutions. The structural differences are also reflected in glass viscosity, where at a given temperature 45S5 has the lowest viscosity, 13-93 the highest and S53P4's viscosity is lying in between.
