Improved phosphate‐based glass fiber performance achieved through acid etch/polydopamine treatment (2019)
Journal Article

Phosphate based glass fibres (PGF) are of interest as reinforcements for degradable implants, but have seen limited application due to their rapid loss of strength when subjected to aqueous conditions. Previous studies have utilised heat treatments t... Read More about Improved phosphate‐based glass fiber performance achieved through acid etch/polydopamine treatment.

Production and characterisation of novel phosphate glass fibre yarns, textiles, and textile composites for biomedical applications (2019)
Journal Article

This work presents manufacturing, processing and characterisation of the phosphate glass fibre (PGF) products for biomedical applications, including multifilament PGF strands, yarns and textiles, and PGF textile composites. The multifilament producti... Read More about Production and characterisation of novel phosphate glass fibre yarns, textiles, and textile composites for biomedical applications.

The effect of MgO/TiO2 on structural and crystallization behavior of near invert phosphate-based glasses (2019)
Journal Article

Varying formulations in the glass system of 40P2O5─(24 − x)MgO─(16 + x)CaO─(20 − y)Na2O─yTiO2 (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 22 and y = 0 or 1) were prepared via melt-quenching. The structure of the glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform...

Ga and Ce ion-doped phosphate glass fibres with antibacterial properties and their composite for wound healing applications (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Novel gallium/cerium-doped phosphate glass fibres (PGF) were successfully manufactured by the melt-quenching and melt-spinning process. The amorphous character of the materials produced was confirmed using X-ray...

Effects of ZnO addition on thermal properties, degradation and biocompatibility of P45Mg24Ca16Na(15−x)Znx glasses (2019)
Journal Article

Four phosphate-based glass formulations in the system P45Mg24Ca16Na(15−x)Znx, referred to as P45Znx (x = 0, 5, 10 and 15 mol%), were prepared using a melt quenching process. The effect of ZnO addition on density, molar volume, thermal properties and...
