Multifunctional Coatings to Simultaneously Promote Osseointegration and Prevent Infection of Orthopaedic Implants (2016, positive): “Bioactive glasses are synthetic, degradable ceramic materials containing key elements and molecules to encourage osteogenesis, and these materials have been in use for nearly 50 years [49,50].”
Review of bioactive glass: from Hench to hybrids. (2013, background): “tions on bioactive glasses [1] and also glass–ceramics [3] and ceramics such as synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) and other calcium phosphates [4].”
Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs (2012, background): “Bioglass Bioglass was developed by Hench and co-workers [570,571] during the Vietnam War as a result of the need to replace parts of bone destroyed in combat.”
Bioactive Glass and Glass-Ceramic Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering (2010, positive): “Hench [8] has recently published the history leading to the development of bioactive glass (BG) focusing on the breakthrough discovery of the classical 45S5 Bioglass composition to successful clinical applications and tissue engineering.”
Sol-gel based materials for biomedical applications (2016, methodology): “This material is processed using melting temperatures in the range of 1300–1450 C followed by casting of bulk implants or quenching to allow formation of powders [455].”
