Abstract
SummaryThis paper presents the structural characterization of melt‐quenched titanium metaphosphate glasses having compositions of 0.5P2O5–0.4CaO–(0.1–x)Na2O–xTiO2 (x = 0.00–0.07 mol fraction) by means of x‐ray diffraction (XRD) techniques employed under both ambient and high‐temperature conditions. Ambient XRD spectra of powdered glass samples revealed the amorphous nature of the glasses, while ambient XRD software analysis of crystallised glass powders provided information regarding the phase transitions in the glass compositions with an increase in the TiO2 content. High‐temperature XRD (HT‐XRD) contour plots showed good agreement with the results of both ambient XRD and differential thermal analysis, thereby demonstrating the correspondence between three distinct sets of experimental data and allowing us to correlate thermal events with the crystalline phases formed. Thus, the overall results offer interesting clues into the structure of these titanium metaphosphate glasses, which have emerged as major candidates in the biomedical field for use as substrates in the regeneration of hard and soft tissues.
