## Abstract Bioactive glasses react chemically with body fluids in a manner that is compatible with the repair processes of the tissues. This results in the formation of an interfacial bond between the glasses and living tissue. Bioactive glasses also stimulate boneβcell proliferation. This behavio

β¦ Synopsis
P2O5-based glass hydroxyapatite (HA) composites denoted HA-2 oxide, HA-3 oxide, and HA-4-oxide, were immersed in Hank's balanced salt solution for a period of 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks at 37 degrees C in nonagitated condition for in vitro evaluation. A surface layer was precipitated on the composites that was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelecton spectroscopy, and thin film X-ray diffractometry (TF-XRD). SEM micrographs showed complete coverage of the composite surface by crystallites after immersion of 1 week in the solution, which grew thicker with respect to immersion time. The binding energies measured by XPS indicated apatite formation and the presence of carbonate on the composite surface, showing the newly formed layer was a carbonated apatite. Confirmation of the formed apatite layer was obtained by TF-XRD.

The bioactivity, i.e., bone-bonding ability, of 26 glasses in the system Na 2 O-K 2 O-MgO-CaO-B 2 O 3 -P 2 O 5 -SiO 2 was studied in vivo. This investigation of bioactivity was performed to establish the compositional dependence of bioactivity, and enabled a model to be developed that describes the
## Abstract In this research, we improved densification, hardness, and compression strength of synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics by introducing small quantities of MgOβCaOβP~2~O~5~βNa~2~Oβbased sintering additives. Biological properties of HAp were not altered by this procedure. Phase analyse

Double-layer composite coatings composed of a P 2 O 5 -based glass/Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 (HA) mixture top layer and a simple HA underlayer, on Ti-6AI-4V substrates, were prepared using a plasma-spraying technique. The in vitro bioactivity of these coatings was assessed by immersion testing in simul
