## Abstract Protein adsorption onto the surface of a biomaterial mediates cell adhesion and enhances tissueβimplant integration. In a previous study, we demonstrated that crystallization of bioactive glass (BG) significantly increased the negative zeta potential and decreased serum protein adsorpti

## Abstract Bioactive glasses are characterized by a bond to bone with a hydroxyl carbonate apatite layer. They enhance bone tissue formation and for this purpose are used in orthopedic surgery and in dental implantology. In the current work, we studied the biological response of human osteoblasts
The in vitro surface reactions of a 45S5 bioactive glass in three simulated body fluids (SBF) are analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Five reaction stages are observed. Calcium and phosphate ions in SBF accelerate to a small extent the repolymerization of silica (Stage 3)
Viscosity-temperature dependence has been investigated for glasses in a system where bioactive compositions are found. A glass is called bioactive when living bone can bond to it. In this work, high-temperature microscopy was used to determine viscosity-temperature behavior for 40 glasses in the sys
## Abstract In this investigation, calciumβdeficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) nanocrystals with needleβlike geometry were synthesized and incorporated with Poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, to form CDHAβPMMA nanocomposites. Rheological behaviors of the PMMAβCDHA melting suspensions were systematically
