Evaluation of the dynamic behavior, elastic properties, and in vitro bioactivity of some borophosphosilicate glasses for orthopedic applications

Summary: | The present work employed the finite element model (FEM) to predict the influence of successive increases in borate (B2O3) contents, from 0 to 25 mol%, on mechanical properties and dynamic behavior. By feeding the isotropic elasticity characteristics of the phosphosilicate glass to the model, such as Young's modulus, density, and maximum compressive stress of the produced glass samples to fit the aim of their clinical use. The effect of successive addition of B2O3 on the in vitro bioactivity of the examined glasses in addition to examined after being dipped in simulated body fluid (SBF) at different times. Moreover, tracking the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA)-like layers on their surfaces using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained indicated that increasing B2O3 content to 25% was responsible for improving the deflect resistance by 39%.On the other hand, neither shear stress nor principles stress was affected by this increase in B2O3 content. Moreover, the gradual increases in B2O3 contents were very helpful in improving the bioactivity of the samples. The prepared glasses can be successfully used in bone replacement applications from these promising results. |
