## Abstract In this work, the conditions to obtain concentrated and fluid suspensions from a bioactive glass (55‐SiO~2~; 41‐CaO; 4‐P~2~O~5~; mol %) were investigated. The influence of the heat treatment of the glass on the specific surface area, solubility, bioactivity, and finally on their dispers
## Abstract A series of elastic polymer and composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications were designed. Two crosslinked copolymer matrices with 90/10 and 30/70 mol % of ϵ‐caprolactone (CL) and D,L‐lactide (DLLA) were prepared with porosities from 45 to 85 vol % and their mechanical
## Abstract Resorbable 3D macroporous bioactive scaffolds have been produced for tissue‐engineering applications by foaming sol‐gel–derived bioactive glasses of the 58S (60 mol% SiO~2~, 36 mol% CaO, 4 mol% P~2~O~5~) composition with the aid of a surfactant. Bioactive glasses are known to have the a
## Abstract Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na~2~O)–0.5(P~2~O~5~) was used as filler in poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composite foams. Composites with
