Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

Bioactive glasses (BGs) and glass-ceramics (BGCs) have become a diverse family of
materials being applied for treatment of many medical conditions. The traditional …

The control of bacterial infections is of particular importance in the field of tissue
engineering. Recently, much attention has been addressed toward the use of mesoporous …

The global market for dental materials is predicted to exceed 10 billion dollars by 2020. The
main drivers for this growth are easing the workflow of dentists and increasing the comfort of …

The interest around bioactive glass‐ceramics (GCs) has grown significantly over the last two
decades due to their appropriate biochemical and mechanical properties. The intense …

There is an ongoing profound shift in using glass as a primarily passive material to one that
instills active properties. We believe and demonstrate that bioactive glasses (BGs) and glass …

Traditionally depicted as homogeneous materials, manmade and volcanic glasses are often
subjected to nanostructuration during demixing and crystallization of their parental melt …
