Bioactivity and Mechanical Properties Characterization of Bioactive Glass Incorporated with Graphene Oxide

Abstract In this study, the bioactivity and mechanical properties (Mechanical compressive strength, Hardness, density) of bioglass (BG) bioglass/graphene oxide (BG/GO) were investigated. Bioglass in chemical composition [60SiO2_35CaO_5P2O5] was prepared via sol–gel method. GO added to with different contents (0.5, 1, 2, 3) wt.% named as 0.5%GO, 1%GO, 2%GO, 3%GO samples respectively. The synthesized specimens characterized by several techniques Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Compressive density studied also obtain optimum Mechanical samples. biological activity an in-vitro test simulated body fluid (SBF) for 33 days. Results showed that: 0.5%GO sample exhibited strength approximately 82% compared BG sample. Hardness increased from up 1%GO gradually decreased 2%GO Sample 3%GO. Bioactivity results deposition HA layer on surface there no significant change it addition graphene oxide.
