✦ Synopsis

Waveguides were prepared by the sol-gel method at ambient temperature from titanium alkoxides and an organically modified silane using the chemically controlled condensation procedure. The structure was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A biphasic structure containing (a) modified silica that may form micellar clusters and (b) titania clusters containing chelating acetate with dimensions in the nanometer range is proposed. The composite glass was doped by the pH indicator methyl red and the existence of two separate dye populations was demonstrated. This finding is attributed to dye molecules in separate phases. The optical and spectral properties of the glass are explained by its proposed structure.

## Abstract This study was performed to determine the __in vitro__ biocompatibility of a bioactive, antibacterial silver based gel. A human osteoblast‐like cell line (HOS TE85) was used to test cytocompatibility in the presence of eluants and the biological response in direct contact with Na~2~OΒ·Ca
