Abstract
In-vitro bio active properties have been studied on Sol-gel derived 58SiO2-33CaO-(5-X) Na2O-(4+X) P2O5 (where X=0, 5) bio glass samples soaked for seven days in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the presence of Hydroxyl Apatite (HA) crystalline phase in the synthesized samples. The spherical shaped hydroxyl carbonated apatite (HCA) nuclei were observed under scanning electron microscope. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of carbonates in the glass matrix. In particular, larger concentration of P2O5 in the bioglass resulted in superior bioactivity compared to low concentration of P2O5.
