Structural and Dynamical Effects of the CaO/SrO Substitution in Bioactive Glasses.

ABSTRACT: Silicate glasses containing silicon, sodium, phosphorous, and calcium have the ability to promote bone regeneration and biodegrade as new tissue is generated. Recently, it has been suggested that adding SrO can benefit tissue growth and silicate glass dissolution. Motivated by these recent developments, the effect of SrO/CaO-CaO/SrO substitution on the local structure and dynamics of Si-Na-P-Ca-O oxide glasses has been studied in this work. Differential thermal analysis has been performed to determine the thermal stability of the glasses after the addition of strontium. The local structure has been studied by neutron diffraction augmented by Reverse Monte Carlo simulation, and the local dynamics by neutron Compton scattering and Raman spectroscopy. Differential thermal analysis has shown t
