Bioactive glass has a unique ability to bond with living tissues, making it an invaluable asset in biomedical applications. Bioactive glass nanoparticles are primarily composed of silicon dioxide, ...

In 1969, the first bioactive glass material was developed by Larry Hench, a professor of ceramic engineering at the University of Florida. Hench collaborated with doctors during the Vietnam War to ...

When implanted in the body, bioactive glass triggers specific biological activity which forms a layer on the glass surface with a material similar to hydroxyapatite. This layer enables the bioactive ...
