Item Dissolution and in vitro bioactive properties of BaO added Na2O-CaO-P2O5 glasses(Society of Glass Technology christine@glass.demon.co.uk, 2018) Edathazhe, A.B.; Shashikala, H.D.Na2O-CaO-P2O5 glasses with different additions of BaO were subjected to dissolution tests in deionised water and in vitro bioactivity tests in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) as well as Hank's balanced salt (HBS) solution. Phosphate glasses of composition (26-x)Na2O-xBaO-29CaO-45P2O5 (x=0, 5, 10, 15 mol%) were prepared by melt-quenching. The dissolution characteristics of these glasses were studied in deionised water under static conditions based on BaO composition. The dissolution rate of the glasses in deionised water decreased with BaO content. The in vitro bioactivity tests were carried out in PBS and HBSS for 28 days under static conditions. The bioactivity of the samples was verified by XRD, SEM/EDS and FTIR techniques. Hydroxyapatite phases were formed on all the glass samples within seven days of immersion in HBSS and the bioactivity was found to improve with BaO content. The glasses without BaO and with 15 mol% BaO showed the hydroxyapatite phases within the immersion of 14 days in PBS whereas the glasses with 5 and 10 mol% BaO showed formation of amorphous hydroxyapatite phases. © 2018 Society of Glass Technology.

The structural properties and composition of glass coated substrates were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The coatings were partially crystalline in nature with porous structure and pore size varied from micro to nanometer range. The polarization curve was obtained for uncoated and coated substrates from electrochemical corrosion test which was conducted at 37 °C in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS). The corrosion resistance of 316 L substrate increased after coating, whereas it decreased in case of DSS 2205 and Ti6Al4V. The XRD and SEM/EDS studies indicated the bioactive hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer formation on all the coated surfaces after electrochemical corrosion test, which improved the corrosion resistance. The observed electrochemical corrosion behavior can be explained based on protective HAp layer formation, composition and diffusion of ions on glass coated surfaces. The in-vitro bioactivity test was carried out at 37 °C in HBS solution for 14 days under static conditions for uncoated and coated substrates. pH and ion release rate measurements from the coated samples were conducted to substantiate the electrochemical corrosion test. The lower ion release rates of Na+ and Ca2+ from coated 316 L supported its higher electrochemical corrosion resistance among coated samples. Among the uncoated substrates, DSS showed higher electrochemical corrosion resistance. Amorphous calcium-phosphate (ACP) layer formation on all the coated substrates after in-vitro bioactivity test was confirmed by XRD, SEM/EDS and ion release measurements. The present work is a comparative study of corrosion resistance and bioactivity of glass coated and uncoated biomedical implants such as 316 L, DSS and Ti6Al4V. © 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd.
