  Article:   MAGNESIUM INFLUENCE ON BIOACTIVITY OF SILICATE GLASSES PREPARED BY DIFFERENT SOL-GEL ROUTES.

  Abstract:   Xerogels of SiO2, SiO2-CaO, SiO2-MgO and SiO2-CaO-MgO compositions were prepared following the acid catalysed and quick alkali mediated sol-gel routes. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and elemental composition energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy both before and after 8 days immersion in simulated body fluid. The results indicate that the calcite formation is favoured on calcium containing samples with up to 15 mol % MgO prepared by quick sol-gel route. Above this concentration magnesium inhibits the calcite formation and implicitly the expected bioactivity.
