Bioglass®45S5 was co-sintered with hydroxyapatite at 1200°C. When small amounts (<5wt.%) of Bioglass®45S5 was added it behaved as a sintering aid and also enhanced the decomposition of hydroxyapatite to β-tricalcium phosphate. However when 10wt.% and 25wt.% Bioglass®45S5 was used it resulted in t...
