Glass-ceramics obtained via a true bulk glassy phase offer a possibility to obtain high-temperature stable nanostructured materials in a cost efficient way which is suitable for mass production. We apply the method of glass-ceramic manufacturing to a crystalline phase which is known for its good thermoelectric properties as an n-doped material. Nb-doped SrTiO 3 with grain sizes of several nanometers is obtained as the main crystalline phase from transparent bulk glass after applying a well-defined time–temperature profile for ceramization. The glass-ceramics show a low thermal conductivity of around 1.6 W/mK and a Seebeck coefficient around ?480 μV/K together with electronic conductivity. Thermal cycling of these glass-ceramics without degradation of the thermoelectric properties for temperatures up to 650 °C (923 K) is shown as well. 相似文献

Scintillators, which are widely used as radiation detectors, are phosphors that release absorbed ionizing radiation energy as ultraviolet or visible light. Inorganic glass scintillators have several advantages over inorganic crystal scintillators, such as ease of fabrication and low costs. However, unlike inorganic crystals, which can emit up to tens of thousands of photons/MeV, inorganic glasses exhibit less than several hundred photons/MeV in most cases. Here, we studied an inorganic glass scintillator that exhibits a light yield of 2700 photons/MeV, which exceeds those of previous inorganic glass scintillators with high light yields of approximately 2000 photons/MeV. The density of this material is 3.28 g/cm3, which is relatively high among glass scintillators. Moreover, a fast scintillation decay with a decay time constant of 30.0 ns was obtained and is attributed to the 5d–4f transition of Ce3+. Thus, this glass is suitable for gamma- and X-ray detection, thereby expanding the practical applicability of inorganic glass scintillators. 相似文献

The mechanical strength of bioactive glasses can be improved by controlled crystallization, turning its use as bulk bone implants viable. However, crystallization may affect the bioactivity of the material. The aim of this study was to develop glass–ceramics of the nominal composition (wt%) 52.75(3CaO·P 2O 5)–30SiO 2–17.25MgO, with different crystallized fractions and to evaluate their in vitro cytotoxicity and bioactivity. Specimens were heat-treated at 700, 775 and 975 °C, for 4 h. The major crystalline phase identified was whitlockite, an Mg-substituted tricalcium phosphate. The evaluation of the cytotoxicity was carried out by the neutral red uptake methodology. Ionic exchanges with the simulated body fluid SBF-K9 acellular solution during the in vitro bioactivity tests highlight the differences in terms of chemical reactivity between the glass and the glass–ceramics. The effect of crystallinity on the rates of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation was followed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. Although all glass–ceramics can be considered bioactive, the glass–ceramic heat-treated at 775 °C (V775-4) presented the most interesting result, because the onset for HCA formation is at about 24 h and after 7 days the HCA layer dominates completely the spectrum. This occurs probably due to the presence of the whitlockite phase (3(Ca,Mg)O·P 2O 5). All samples were considered not cytotoxic. 相似文献

Tm 3+/Al 3+ co-doped silica glass was prepared by sol–gel method combined with high temperature sintering. Glasses with compositions of xTm 2O 3–15 xAl 2O 3–(100 − 16 x) SiO 2 (in mol%, x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0) were prepared. The high thulium doped silica glass was realized. Their spectroscopic parameters were calculated and analyzed by Judd–Ofelt theory. Large absorption cross section (4.65 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 1668 nm) and stimulated emission cross section (6.00 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 1812 nm), as well as low hydroxyl content (0.180 cm −1), long fluorescence lifetime (834 μs at 1800 nm), large σem × τrad (30.05 × 10 −21 cm 2 ms) and large relative intensity ratio of the 1.8 μm ( 3F 4 → 3H 6) to 1.46 ( 3H 4 → 3F 4) emissions (90.33) are achieved in this Tm 3+/Al 3+ co-doped silica glasses. According to emission characteristics, the optimum thulium doping concentration is around 0.8 mol%. The cross relaxation (CR) between ground and excited states of Tm 3+ ions was used to explain the optimum thulium doping concentration. These results suggest that the sol–gel method is an effective way to prepare Tm 3+ doped silica glass with high Tm 3+ doping and prospective spectroscopic properties. 相似文献

Bioactivity and magnetic properties were investigated in glass and glass ceramics based on the SiO 2–Na 2O–Fe 2O 3–CaO–P 2O 5–B 2O 3 system to find their suitability as thermoseed for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. The effect of change in compositions on bioactivity was examined in simulated body fluids. The glass ceramic samples exhibit Na 3CaSi 3O 8 and Na 3-XFe XPO 4 phases. After dipping the glass ceramic samples in simulated body fluids silica hydrogel first forms, followed by an amorphous calcium phosphate layer. Magnetic and microwave resonance experiments further demonstrate the potential of these glass ceramics for possible use in hyperthermia. 相似文献

Barium borosilicate glass with composition 30BaO–60B 2O 3–10SiO 2 glass was prepared by melt-quenching technique. Different weight % of crystalline Al 2O 3 was mixed with the glass powder and sintered at optimum temperature. The changes in the structure and thermal properties of the glass with alumina content were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis. The variations in the coefficient of thermal expansion and dielectric properties with composition were also studied and correlated with the structural changes. 相似文献

Heavy metal oxide B 2O 3–PbO–Bi 2O 3–GeO 2 transparent glass doped with Sm 3+ was synthesized and implanted with Au + using energy of 300 keV and fluence of 1 × 10 16 cm −2. The annealing of the implanted glass at moderate temperature below the glass transition temperature induced the nucleation of gold nanoparticles, confirmed by the characteristic absorption band in the visible range and by transmission electron microscopy. Using Miés and Doylés theories for the surface plasmon resonance, the average size of the gold nanoparticles was about 4.6 nm, similar to the values observed by transmission electron microscopy. It was also observed the crystallization of a thin layer of the glass at the implanted surface after annealing, detected by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Visible and near-infrared emission of Sm 3+ was enhanced after annealing of the glass implanted with gold. Judd–Ofelt parameters and radiative parameters were calculated for the glass doped with Sm 3+ with and without gold nanoparticles. 相似文献

CaO–B 2O 3–SiO 2 (CBS) glass powders are prepared by traditional glass melting method, whose properties and microstructures are characterized
by Differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that the
pure CBS glass ceramics possess excellent dielectric properties ( ε
r = 6.5, tan δ = 5 × 10 −3 at 10 GHz), but a higher sintering temperature (>900 °C) and a narrow sintering temperature range (about 10 °C). The addition
of a low-melting-point CaO–B 2O 3–SiO 2 glass (LG) could greatly decrease the sintering temperature of CBS glass to 820 °C and significantly enlarge the sintering
temperature range to 40 °C. The CBS glass ceramic with 30 wt% LG glass addition sintered at 840 °C exhibits better dielectric
properties: ε
r ≈ 6, tan δ < 2 × 10 −3 at 10 GHz, and the major phases of the sample are CaSiO 3, CaB 2O 4 and SiO 2. 相似文献

The structure of soda-calcia-magnesia-silicate glasses doped with rare-earth fluoride (NdF 3) was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The density and microhardness have been investigated in order to study the effect of doping NdF 3 on the physical properties of the studied glasses. The results showed that the density of glasses increases with the increase in NdF 3 contents. While, the increase of NdF 3 contents led to decrease the microhardness values of the studied samples. The AC electrical properties of samples were measured in the frequency interval 100 Hz up to 1 MHz. The increase of NdF 3 doping generally increases the conductivity and dielectric constants of the samples slightly. The obtained experimental data from samples were discussed based on the internal structure of the glass and the distribution of its constituents, connectivity and number of free charges or broken bonds. 相似文献

Crystallization behavior was studied for glass powders in which some portions of AlF 3 in the net composition of 60(Ba 0.7Sr 0.3)TiO 3–25SiO 2–15AlF 3 were replaced with Ga 2O 3 or Bi 2O 3. The replacement with Ga 2O 3 resulted in a progressive increase in crystallization temperature, which effectively assisted the viscous sintering of glass
powders to produce densified BST glass–ceramics at relatively lower temperatures. For the Bi 2O 3-replaced glass powders, an increasing amount of Bi 2O 3 replacement lowered the crystallization temperature and yielded less densified glass–ceramics containing a considerable amount
of glassy phase. The temperature dependence of permittivity was estimated for the Ga 2O 3- and Bi 2O 3-replaced glass–ceramics as a function of sintering conditions and the amount of replacement, respectively. 相似文献

Investigation of novel biomaterials for bone engineering is based on the development of porous scaffolds, which should match
the properties of the tissue that is to be replaced. These materials need to be biocompatible, ideally osteoinductive, osteoconductive,
and mechanically well-matched. In the present paper, we report the preparation and characterization of hybrid macroporous
scaffold of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/bioactive glass through the sol–gel route. Hybrids containing PVA (80, 70 and 60 wt%)
and bioactive glass with composition 58SiO 2–33CaO–9P 2O 5 were synthesized by foaming a mixture of polymer solution and bioactive glass via sol–gel precursor solution. PVA with two
different degree of hydrolysis (DH), 98.5% (high degree) and 80% (low degree) were also investigated, in order to evaluate
the influence of residual acetate group present in polymer chain on the final structure and properties of 3D porous composite
produced. The microstructure, morphology and crystallinity of the hybrid porous scaffolds were characterized by X-ray diffraction
(XRD), Infrared Fourier Transform spectrometry (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) analysis. In addition, specific
surface area was assessed by B.E.T. nitrogen adsorption method and mechanical behavior was evaluated by compression tests.
Preliminary cytotoxicity and cell viability were also performed by the MTT assay. VERO cell monolayers were grown in 96-well
microtiter plates. The results have clearly showed that hybrid foams of polyvinyl alcohol/bioactive glass (PVA/BG) with interconnected
macroporous 3D structure were successfully produced. All the tested hybrids of PVA/BG have showed adequate cell viability
properties for potential biological applications. 相似文献

A new bioactive glass composition (CEL2) in the SiO 2–P 2O 5–CaO–MgO–K 2O–Na 2O system was tailored to control pH variations due to ion leaching phenomena when the glass is in contact with physiological
fluids. CEL2 was prepared by a traditional melting-quenching process obtaining slices that were heat-treated to obtain a glass-ceramic
material (CEL2GC) that was characterized thorough SEM analysis. Pre-treatment of CEL2GC with SBF was found to enhance its
biocompatibility, as assessed by in vitro tests. CEL2 powder was then used to synthesize macroporous glass–ceramic scaffolds.
To this end, CEL2 powders were mixed with polyethylene particles within the 300–600 μm size-range and then pressed to obtain
crack-free compacted powders (green). This was heat-treated to remove the organic phase and to sinter the inorganic phase,
leaving a porous structure. The biomaterial thus obtained was characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM equipped with EDS, density
measurement, image analysis, mechanical testing and in vitro evaluation, and found to be a glass–ceramic macroporous scaffold
with uniformly distributed and highly interconnected porosity. The extent and size-range of the porosity can be tailored by
varying the amount and size of the polyethylene particles. 相似文献

The response to implantation of novel apatite glass–ceramics was evaluated using a weight bearing in vivo bone implant model. Five novel glasses with varying calcium to phosphate ratios were cast as short rods and heat-treated to crystallize principally apatite. One glass ceramic had an apatite stoichiometry (Ca : P=1.67); three were phosphate-rich and one calcium-rich. One of the phosphate-rich glasses was also tested in its glassy state to determine the effect of crystallization on the biological response. Rods were implanted into the midshaft of rat femurs and left for 28 days. The femurs were then harvested and processed for scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis and conventional histology as ground and polished sections. Four of the materials exhibited evidence of osseointegration and osteoconduction. However, there was a marked inflammatory response to one of the phosphate-rich glass–ceramics, and to the non-crystallized glass. Crystallization of the latter significantly improved the bone tissue response. The glass–ceramic with an apatite stoichiometry elicited the most favorable response and merited further study as an osteoconductive bone substitute in maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery. 相似文献

This study aimed to fabricate and investigate the structure, mechanical properties and bioactivity of three-dimensional (3-D) glass–ceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The scaffold material was a fluoroapatite-containing glass–ceramic synthesized by a melting–quenching route. Glass–ceramic powders were mixed with polyethylene particles acting as pore formers; the blend was pressed to obtain “green” compacts that were thermally treated to remove the organic phase and to sinter the inorganic one. The structure and morphology of the resulting scaffolds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, density measurements and capillarity tests. Crushing tests were carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. The in vitro bioactivity was assessed by soaking the scaffolds in simulated body fluid for different time frames and by analyzing the modifications that occurred on the sample surface. The scaffolds had an interconnected macroporous structure with pores up to 50% vol. and they showed an orthotropic mechanical behaviour and strength well above 20 MPa. In addition, in vitro tests put into evidence the excellent bioactivity of the material. Therefore, the prepared scaffolds can be used in bone reconstructive surgery as effective load-bearing grafts thanks to their ease of tailoring, bioactive properties and high mechanical strength. 相似文献

In this paper, we have examined and analyzed the effects of systematic intercalation of the lead ions on vanadate–tellurate
glass ceramics with interesting results. The structural properties of the lead–vanadate–tellurate glass ceramics of compositions
xPbO·(100 − x)[6TeO 2·4V 2O 5], x = 0 − 100 mol%, are reported for the first time. It has been shown by X-ray diffraction that single-phase homogeneous glasses
with a random network structure can be obtained in this system. Among these unconventional lead–vanadate–tellurate glass ceramics,
we found that network formers are good host material for lead ions and are capable to intercalate a variety of species such
as Te 2V 2
5+O 9, Pb 3(V 5+O 4) 2, Pb 2V 2
5+O 7, and V 2O 5-rich amorphous phase. On the other hand, these glass ceramics contain V 4+ and V 5+ ions necessary for the electrical conduction. Based on these experimental results, we propose that the V 4+=O bonds are created by two different mechanisms: the first of reduction of V 5+ ions to V 4+ ions and thus of creation of V 4+=O bonds. 相似文献

Magnetic annealing with a tunable solenoid magnetic field from 0–240 G, was conducted on a Bi–Pb–Fe–Cd–O glass containing 20% Fe2O3, which was prepared by the melt-quenching process. The crystalline phases of the annealed samples were identified as -Bi2O3 and BiFeO3. Evidence of the formation of the crystalline BiFeO3 which was strongly magnetically enhanced at the surface of the samples, was obtained from X-ray diffraction patterns and EPR spectra. Based on the structure transition of Fe3+ ions, a crystallization mechanism for the BiFeO3 crystals under magnetic annealing has been proposed. 相似文献
