This new bioglass ceramic, with composition of Na2O 8.4%, CaO 40.6%, P2O5 12% and SiO2 39%, had 160-190 MPa and 800-980 MPa of three-point bending strength and compressive strength respectively. The ceramic has a (Na, Ca) (P, Si) O3 crystalline phase with a uniform crystal size of about 10μm, which was attributed to the high nucleation frequency. The rabbit condyle test showed that the material formed a tight chemical bond with biological texture and had good biocompatibility. © 1993.application/pdf803947 bytesapplication/pdfen-USBioglass ceramic; bone graft; nucleationBiocompatibility; Biomedical engineering; Bone; Ceramic materials; Glass; Grafts; Implants (surgical); Mechanical properties; Prosthetics; Bioglass ceramic; Compressive strength; In vivo evaluation; Nucleation frequency; Rabbit condyle test; Biomaterials; animal experiment; article; biocompatibility; bone graft; ceramics; nonhuman; priority journal; rabbit; Animal; Biocompatible Materials; Biomechanics; Ceramics; Evaluation Studies; Femur; Materials Testing; Osseointegration; Prostheses and Implants; Rabbits; X-Ray Diffraction; Animalia; Oryctolagus cuniculusjournal article82777532-s2.0-0027703496http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/127967/1/03.pdf
