Advanced optimization of dopant profiles in bismuth-enhanced bioactive glass through response surface methodology.

ABSTRACT: The composition of constituent elements in bioactive glasses is critical for achieving properties suitable for biological applications. Even minor compositional variations can significantly alter the system's response. This study investigated silica-based bioactive glasses doped with 2, 4, and 6 wt% bismuth (Bi), utilizing an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model with a Central Composite Design (CCD) to examine the influence of compositional changes on structure and properties. Physical properties were characterized using Zeta potential measurements for stability, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for nanoparticle size, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis for porosity. Post-Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) investigations included transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with Selected Area Elec
