45S5 bioglass has been widely studied in the last few decades because of its bioactivity and promising applications in the biomedical field. Boron, even few studied, represents a potential element to improve the properties ...

Over the past few years, several tridimensional synthetic bone grafts, known as scaffolds, are being developed to overcome the autologous grafts limitations. Among the materials used on the production of scaffolds, the ...

Bioglass 45S5 has been successfully implemented in clinical applications, because of its capability of developing a strong bondwith the bone tissue. However, its low mechanical strength does not allow applying it in places ...

In this work, β-TCP (β-tricalcium phosphate) bioresorbable scaffolds were prepared by the gel casting method. Then, they were impregnated with a 45S5 bioglass sol gel solution to improve biocompatibility and promote ...

Natural rubber (NR)/45S5 Bioglass® (BG) based fibrous mat biocomposite were fabricated using a solution blow spinning (SBS) method. NG/BG fibrous mat with ribbon-like morphology were obtained with different amounts of 45S5 ...

Biocomposites based on natural rubber (NR) reinforced with 45S5 Bioglass® (BG) particles were obtained by casting/evaporation method in which NR was dissolved in chloroform and mixed with BG particles. Structural, mechanical, ...

This work studied the crystallization process of two bioglass series derived from 45S5 (R) containing niobium (BGNb5 and BGNb10). In vitro biological analyzes of cell viability corroborate with the qualitative interpretation ...

Three dimensional, highly porous, ZrO2 scaffolds coated by glass-ceramic derived from 45S5 bioglass were fabricated. The surface reactivity of 45S5 in aqueous solution was investigated as a function of the immersion time. ...

The bovine bone and sintetic hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics are reference materials to employment as a bone substitute, however, their slow rate of degradation and its low rate of bioactivity index (Ib) are presented as ...
