Bioactive glass nanopowder and bioglass coating for biomedical applications

The aim of this work was preparation and characterization of bioactive glass nanopowder and development of bioglass coating for biocompatibility improvement of 316L stainless steel implant used in dentistry and orthopaedic. Bioglass nanopowder was made by sol-gel technique and TEM technique was utilized to evaluate the powders shape and size. It was concluded that the prepared bioglass nanopowder could be more effective as a bioactive biomaterials and the sol-gel bioglass coating can improve the corrosion behaviour of dental and orthopaedic metallic implants and two goals including improvement of biocompatibility and bone osteointegration can be obtained simultaneously
