Natural bone healing is often inadequate to treat fractures with critical size bone defects and
massive bone loss. Immediate surgical interventions through bone grafts have been found to …

An updated edition of the essential guide to the technology of glass-ceramic technology
Glass-ceramic materials share many properties with both glass and more traditional …

In recent years, excipient systems have been used increasingly in biomedicine in
reconstructive and replacement surgery, as bone cements, drug-delivery vehicles and …

We report for the first time, synthesis of mesoporous nano-fluorcanasite (n-FC) glass-
ceramic from selective glass melting composition using controlled heat treatment and …

Modified fluorcanasite glasses were fabricated by either altering the molar ratios of Na2O
and CaO or by adding P2O5 to the parent stoichiometric glass compositions. Glasses were …

Four fluorcanasite glass-ceramics were fabricated by controlled heat-treatment of as-cast
Glasses A–D. These compositions have been reported previously but essentially, Glass A …

Fluorcanasite glass‐ceramics were produced by controlled two stage heat‐treatment of as‐
cast glasses. These glasses were modified from stoichiometric fluorcanasite composition by …

Apatite glass‐ceramics are attractive for medical and dental applications, and fluorapatite
glass‐ceramics based on aluminosilicate glasses have been extensively studied. This study …

A biomimetic strategy was adopted by incorporating nano-fluorcanasite (nFC) within
biocompatible and biodegradable poly-(ε-caprolactone)(PCL) matrix to obtain functionally …

This work describes the preparation, crystallization behavior, and properties of glasses in
the fluorcanasite-lithium disilicate system with the objective of understanding the …
