Chemical Composition, Mechanical, and Thermal Characteristics of Bioactive Glass for Better Processing Features

Glass system was designed using the formula 34B(2)O(3) - 9SiO(2) - 18CaO - 14 P2O5 - (25 - x) Na2O - xTiO(2), x = (0 <= x <= 5 mol%) in this article. Glass systems were investigated in terms of physical, structural, thermal, and mechanical characteristics. Furthermore, XRD was used to characterize amorphous nature systematically. The structural networks in the samples were analyzed by FTIR spectra to illustrate structural units like SiO4, TiO4, BO3, and BO4. Titanium ions act as a trigger to convert BO3 into BO4 units, according to preliminary FT-IR results. The glass density and velocities increased after adding TiO2. The experimental and theoretical elastic moduli increased with increasing glass densities and velocities. The increasing trend of Delta T with increasing TiO2 concentration suggested that glass stability had enhanced. According to the results of this study, the mechanical and thermal features of the bioactive glass compositions studied are significantly influenced by the addition of TiO2. This research could be used in the future to improve the mechanical and thermal efficiency of bioactive glass systems. G 5 is the best one in terms of mechanical and thermal properties according to these findings.

Automated summary

This article investigates a bioactive glass system and utilizes TiO2 to enhance its mechanical and thermal properties. Experimental results show that the addition of TiO2 increases the density and velocity of the glass, resulting in improved mechanical and thermal performance.
