Bioactive Sol-Gel Derived Borate Glasses comments

by William Lepry
Bioactive glasses have long been studied as bone replacement materials. Owing to their lower chemical durability, bioactive borate glasses degrade more rapidly and consequently have a quicker conversion rate to bone-like mineral hydroxy-carbonated apatite, HCA when compared to the traditional silicate bioactive glasses 1 ...
