Resorbability of a Bioglass®-based glass-ceramic scaffold produced via a powder metallurgy approach

Consolidation processes aimed at manufacturing cellular solids from bioglasses often result in a glass-ceramic microstructure, whose response to aqueous environment affects their performance. In this study, we evaluated the microstructure and the effect of crystallization on the dissolution mechanism of a Bioglass®-based glass-ceramic scaffold, produced with a powder metallurgy inspired technology. All the experiments are conducted in a...
