✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Fibers were manufactured from the bioactive glass 13–93 by melt spinning. The fibers were further characterized by measuring their tensile and flexural strength, and their in vitro performance was characterized by immersing them in simulated body fluid, which analyzed changes in their mass, their flexural strength, and surface reactions. The strength of glass fibers is highly dependent on fiber diameter, test method, and possible surface flaws, for example, cracks due to abrasion. In this study, the thinnest fibers (diameter between 24 and 33 μm) possessed the highest average tensile strength of 861 MPa. The flexural strength was initially 1353.5 MPa and it remained at that level for 2 weeks. The Weibull modulus for both tensile and flexural strength values was initially about 2.1. The flexural strength started to decrease and was only ∼20% of the initial strength after 5 weeks. During the weeks 5–40, only a slight decrease was detected. The flexural modulus decreased steadily from 68 to 40 GPa during this period. The weight of the samples initially decreased due to leaching of ions and further started to increase due to precipitation of calcium phosphate on the fiber surfaces. The mass change of the bioactive glass fibers was dependent on the surface area rather than initial weight of the sample. The compositional analysis of the fiber surface after 24 h and 5 weeks immersion did confirm the initial leaching of ions and later the precipitation of a calcium phosphate layer on the bioactive glass 13–93 fiber surface in vitro. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
