Preparation and characterization of hydroxyapatite–forsterite–bioactive glass nanocomposite coatings for biomedical applications

Alginate/Bioglass® composite coatings on stainless steel deposited by direct current and alternating current electrophoretic deposition

“…Moreover, alginate is an ideal candidate to bind proteins, growth factors and bone-forming cells in aqueous suspensions for the accurate biomimetic modification of implants, however the combination of alginate with bioactive glass has been rarely reported [28]. Compared with other colloidal coating methods based on the packing of particles (dip coating [29], solvent casting [30], layer-by-layer deposition [1,31], enamel coating [32]), electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is considered a highly versatile coating technique which enables manipulating particles in suspension to form a variety of bulk materials and coatings with high microstructural homogeneity and tailored thickness [33,34]. A review about the EPD of biomaterials has been published [35], revealing that EPD is being increasingly considered to produce polymer-bioceramic composite coatings with enhanced functionalities, e.g.…”

A comparative study on cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the hydroxyapatite‐bioactive glass and fluorapatite‐bioactive glass nanocomposite foams as tissue scaffold for bone repair

“…13,14 The combination of bioactive glass with hydroxyapatite produces special properties such as augmentation bioactivity and mechanical properties. 14,15 Adding silicate ions into the hydroxyapatite structure increases the intrinsic bioactivity and induces bone formation and vascularization during bone regeneration. 16,17 Supplementing BG with FA (instead of HA) might improve its physical and biological properties.…”

Crystallization and Mechanical Properties of (45s5-Ha) Biocomposite for Biomedical Implantation

“…This reaction will be cause the formation of sodium calcium silicates (Na 2 CaSi 2 O 6 ) which was sintered at 1000°C mainly shows the presence of sodium calcium silicates (Na 2 CaSi 2 O 6 , JCPDS # 77-2189). This indicates that sintering promotes the transformation of hydroxyapatite to β-TCP [27]. …”
