Abstract

A new bioglass ceramic with composition of Na2O 12%, CaO 28%, P2O5 10% and SiO2 50% with a high bending strength (120–140 MPa) and compressive strength (600–750 MPa) was studied. The crystallized phases ofβ-Ca2P2P7 and Na2Ca3Si6O16 were determined by X-ray diffraction. Optical microscopy of the material revealed that a very uniform crystal size of about 30 μm was obtained with high nucleation frequency. The nucleation and crystallization processes were also investigated. The rat shoulder test showed that the material formed a tight chemical bond with biological texture and had good biocompatibility.
