SiO2-CaO-P2O5 ternary bioactive glass ceramic (BGC) nanoparticles with different compositions were prepared via a three-step sol-gel method. Polyethylene glycol was selected to be used as the surfactant to improve the dispersion of the nanoparticles. The morphology and composition of these BGC nanoparticles were observed by ESEM and EDX. All the BGC particles obtained in this method were about 20 nm in diameter...
Porous nanocomposite scaffolds of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) containing different quantities of bioactive glass ceramic (BGC) nanoparticles (SiO2:CaO:P2O5 ! 55:40:5 (mol)) were prepared by a thermally induced phase-separation method. Dioxane was used as the solvent for PLLA. Introduction of less than 20 wt.% of BGC nanoparticles did not remarkably affect the porosity of PLLA foam. However, as the BGC content in...
