Highly Ordered Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses with Superior In Vitro Bone‐Forming Bioactivities

Abstract

Large pore volumes and highly accessible mesopore surface areas are present in highly ordered mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) prepared by a block copolymer templating approach under non-aqueous conditions. These glasses have a high bone-forming bioactivity in vitro, as shown by immersing them in simulated body fluid (SBF) and monitoring the formation of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) on the surface (see electron micrographs).
