Investigation of Bioactive Glass-Ceramic 60SiO2-30CaO-10P2O5 Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

الملخص EN

Bioactive glass-ceramics (BGCs) with the composition of 60SiO2-30CaO-10P2O5 (wt.

%) have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method.

The BGC samples were prepared at two reaction temperatures of 150 and 220°C, named BGC-150 and BGC-220.

The XRD and FTIR analyses highlighted that the degree of crystallinity of BGCs increased linearly with hydrothermal reaction temperature.

FE-SEM and TEM results indicated that the surface of BGC samples is covered by the nanosized particles which grow into larger sizes as a function of reaction temperature.

The bioactivity of BGCs was investigated by the immersion of powder samples in the SBF solution.

The results confirmed the dissolution and the interaction of BGC samples in the SBF solution which led to the formation of a new apatite phase on their surface.
