Recent advances and future perspectives of sol–gel derived porous bioactive glasses: a review
represents the research concept of the joint project NTC and UKR:Advanced porous biomaterials functionalized with stem cells for enhanced implant osseointegration.
In this review, the recent advances in sol–gel processed porous bioactive
glasses in biomedical fields, especially for bone tissue regeneration
applications have been comprehensively reviewed. In the later part of the
review, different types of sol–gel derived bioactive glasses namely silica,
phosphate and silica–titania based glasses along with organic–inorganic
hybrids materials have been discussed.
The review also discusses the chemical, surface, mechanical and biological
properties and further highlights the strategies to control the pore
structure, shape, size and compositions of sol–gel derived bioactive glasses.
