Abstract

Modified calcium phosphate glass Systems meet the requirements for the development of different biomaterials. Bioactive, longterm stable phosphate glass-ceramics and resorbable phosphate glasses were prepared in the Systems P₂O₅ - CaO - Al₂O₃ - Na₂O and P₂O₅ - CaO - MgO - Na₂O . Due to their high thermal expansion coefficients the bioactive phosphate glass-ceramics are excellently suited for coating metals. Using a salt-sintering process, porous resorbable glasses can be obtained. The properties of glassceramic coatings on cobalt/chromium alloys and the production of porous resorbable phosphate invert glasses are described.
