Surface charge characterization of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel contact lenses comments

by Lina Liu
Contact lens surfaces may be ionic or electrically neutral. Base on how different lenses interact with various lens care solutions and how they are affected by interaction of different proteins or lipids from tear film, FDA categorised soft contact lenses into 4 distinct groups including two ionic contact lens Group III and group IV...

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 ...
