Abstract

Boron plays an important role in life processes such as bone growth and maintenance. Structural and bioactivity properties of phosphate free novel composition of calcium borosilicate mesoporous glass–ceramic is reported. X-ray diffraction studies indicate the amorphous nature of sample and Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy reveal the possible bending and stretching vibration modes of silicate and borate groups. N2 adsorption–desorption studies reveal the mesoporous structure with average pore diameter of 28 nm and surface area of 101 m2 g−1. The sample exhibits good bone-like hydroxyapatite layer formation after soaking in stimulated body fluids. Biocompatibility test of sample carried out by using myoblasts cell derived from muscle of mouse indicates an excellent biocompatibility.
