Abstract

In this research bioactive capacity in case of three phosphocalcic glass compositions from ternary system SiO2 – CaO - P2O5 was analyzed. For their synthesis sol-gel technique was used. The elemental composition of the initial samples was demonstrated by the X-ray fluorescence analysis using sequential wavelength dispersive spectrometer ARL Advent X Intelli Power. Study of bioactivity was performed after soaking of the samples in human simulated body fluid from 3 to14 days. Phosphocalcic glasses bioactivity was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis using X-ray difractometer Rigaku – Ultima IV and infrared spectroscopy analysis, by FTIR spectrometer Bruker - Vertex 80. By the analysis performed was observed the synthesis of apatite on phosphocalcic glasses surfaces..
