Review of bioactive glass: from Hench to hybrids. (2013, background): “5 MPa can be achieved with a modal interconnect diameter of 100 lm between the larger spherical pores (diameter of 300– 600 lm, 82% porosity) [185].”
Current Perspectives (2013, background): “It is believed that the bond formation is the result of the rapid generation of a thin layer of hydroxycarbonate apatite that is similar to biological apatite on the glass surface when it comes into contact with biological fluid or is implanted (Pereira et al., 1994; Hench et al., 1998; Jones et al.”
Recent advances in bone tissue engineering scaffolds (2012, background): “Since the development of resorbable 45S5 Bioglass®, many different compositions have been explored over the years [47].”
Sol-gel based materials for biomedical applications (2016, background): “For example, TMOS- and TEOS-based silica xerogels that were prepared from a solution with a 16:1 M ratio of water to Si had a porosity of 50% and showed strengths of 20 MPa and 10 MPa, respectively [277].”
Mechanical properties of porous ceramic scaffolds: Influence of internal dimensions (2015, background): “Bioactive glasses have remarkable advantages such as good biocompatibility, osteoproductivity and osteoconductivity [18].”
