Processing of porous bioactive glass (45S5) for the in vitro synthesis of bone-like tissue

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Processing of porous bioactive glass with camphor as a sacrificial additive is a versatile fabrication method. Camphor acts as a body plasticizer by providing plastic deformation to the system containing brittle glass particles, thereby preventing their fracture during the compaction process. It is completely eliminated from the green product by the end of processing, and it does not react with, or cause a change in the composition of the glass. The use of camphor also allows for the controllable manipulation of such material properties as porosity and pore size during porous glass synthesis.
