Abstract
Oxide Glasses of two different compositions based on Barium-Potassium-Borate and Cadmium-Stroncium-Borate were prepared. The addition of metal oxides to the First system resulted in a shift of Tg TL towards lower temperature, a decrease of optical hand gaps, as measured by photoconduction and optical absorption method. Dielectric constant ā‚¬ and tangent loss tanĪ“ also showed a decrease. In case of second system increase of CdO at the expense of SrO, showed similar results.

In addition to glasses, by control crystallization of suitable glasses fine grained and uniform glass - ceramics of different compositions were prepared and investigated, bone cement based on SiO2-CaO-P2O5 were also prepared and tested as a bone filler. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out to identify the different phases and grain size respectively. Compressive and bending strength were also measured. To test the biocompatibility. Immersion Test in Simulated Body' Fluid and hone bonding mechanism with the natural bone were also investigated through an actual transplant of glass-ceramics ill mile living dogs' Tibias.

All bioactive and biological glass-ceramics showed excellent biocompatibility with the biological texture of living bone. Bioactive glass-ceramics formed tight chemical bond with the natural bone within 8-12 weeks.
