Mesoporous bioactive glass composition effects on degradation and bioactivity.

ABSTRACT: Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are promising materials for regenerative medicine, due to their favorable properties including bioactivity and degradability. These key properties, but also their surface area, pore structure and pore volume are strongly dependent on synthesis parameters and glass stoichiometry. However, to date no systematic study on MBG properties covering a broad range of possible compositions exists. Here, 24 MBG compositions in the SiO₂-CaO-P₂O₅ system were synthesized by varying SiO₂ (60-90 mol %), CaO and P₂O₅ content (both 0 to 40 mol-%), while other synthesis parameters were kept constant. Mesopore characteristics, degradability and bioactivity were analysed. The results showed that, within the te
