Improved phosphate‐based glass fiber performance achieved through acid etch/polydopamine treatment (2019)
Journal Article
Parsons, A. J., Felfel, R. M., Wadge, M. D., & Grant, D. M. (2020). Improved phosphate‐based glass fiber performance achieved through acid etch/polydopamine treatment. International Journal of Applied Glass Science, 11(1), 35-45. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijag.13672

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.

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.

Effects of ZnO addition on thermal properties, degradation and biocompatibility of P45Mg24Ca16Na(15−x)Znx glasses (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Zhu, C., Parsons, A., Rudd, C., Ahmed, I., & Sharmin, N. (2019). Effects of ZnO addition on thermal properties, degradation and biocompatibility of P45Mg24Ca16Na(15−x)Znx glasses. Biomedical Glasses, 5(1), 53-66. https://doi.org/10.1515/bglass-2019-0005

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...

The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles (2018)
Journal Article
Zhu, C., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A., Liu, J., & Liu, X. (2019). The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles. Textile Research Journal, 89(16), 3280-3290. https://doi.org/10.1177/0040517518809052

© The Author(s) 2018. Phosphate glass fibers have been widely considered as potential biomedical materials for orthopedical application due to their full degradability and excellent cytocompatibility. In this study, phosphate-based glass fibers were... Read More about The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles.
