Abstract
In this study, bioactive glass powders were successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel process and bioactive glass powders were tabletted by direct dry pressing method. The morphology and surface properties of bioactive glass tablets were examined via field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) devices. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was utilized to evaluate the phases formed in the sol-gel bioactive glass tablets. Surface characterization of the tablets immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) was carried out with XRD, FE-SEM, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). XRD, FTIR, and EDS analysis proved that the sample contained hydroxyapatite. Also, the in vitro mineralization assay demonstrated that bioactive glass tablets are capable of inducing the creation of hydroxyapatite after dipped in SBF. All analyze results showed that bioactive glass tablets have good apatite-forming activity.
