Abstract

The effect of simulated body fluid (SBF) on the structure and microstructure of ferrimagnetic bioglass ceramics (FBC) was investigated in series of samples in the system of the oxides [0.45(CaO, P2O5) (0.52-x)SiO2 xFe2O3 0.03Na2O], with X = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20. Physical properties of the materials were studied as a function of processing parameters and time of immersion in SBF by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The in vitro experiment showed that bioactivity of the FBC varies with the composition of the oxides, heat treatment, and time of exposure in SBF in a non-systematic way. A surface layer of Si, P, Ca partially covers the Fe, O dendrites, while formation and size of pores is determined by the specific processing parameters of the materials.
