Hydroxyapatite Formation and Bone Bonding Ability of Ternary Borate Glasses Ceramics Containing ZnO.

摘要

ABSTRACT Ternary soda lime borate glass ceramics and samples of the same nominal composition containing ZnO were prepared via two step nucleation and crystallization regime. Prepared samples studied for their bone bonding ability. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectra measurements were carried out for the prepared glasses before and after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for one or two weeks to justify the appearance of calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite (HA)) which is an i.
