Effect of sintering temperature on mechanical and bioactivity properties of bioactive glass and cordierite composite

In this study, a composite of bioactive glass (BG) and cordierite (BG-cord) was proposed to increase the strength bioactivity BG. Both BG were separately synthesized with method melting, then, they used fabricate BG-cord variation sintering temperature (600 1000 °C). The highest diametral tensile (DTS=30.54 MPa) shown by at 925 ºC. Bioactivity tests conducted soaking in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) for 7, 14, 21 days. Apatite formation examined using scanning electron microscope. results showed that sample good regards apatite on samples, confirmed detection carbonate (C-O) phosphate (P-O) absorption peaks Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy crystalline X-ray diffraction pattern.
