Summary: A bioactive glass-zirconia core-shell composite coating was studied to improve the biological and corrosion performance of the Ti6Al4V substrate. The coating showed higher barrier performance and maintained bioactivity compared to a bioactive glass coating group. Additionally, the core-shell coating exhibited non-cytotoxicity and promoted cell proliferation, possibly due to the presence of a zirconia shell for pH control.

Summary: We have developed core-clad bioactive borosilicate fibers with round and rectangular cross-section profile by stacking and drawing glass slabs. Tens-of-meters-long fibers were successfully drawn, but rectangular ones suffered from elevated losses due to the enhanced corrosion caused by residual tensile stress. This study provides the first report on the effect of residual tensile stresses on the corrosion of rectangular fibers and highlights the importance of geometry in the biodegradation behavior of fiberglass.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the interactions between the organic and inorganic phases in a composite material and their impact on in vitro dissolution. The composite was made up of a hydrogel-forming polysaccharide called gellan gum (GG) and a borosilicate bioactive glass (BAG). We found that the crosslinking of GG with the ions released from BAG microparticles affected the mechanical properties, swelling ratio, and enzymatic degradation of the composite. Furthermore, the dissolution of BAG and the loosening of the glass/matrix interface were observed during immersion, leading to a decrease in mechanical properties.

Summary: In this study, humic substances (HS) were combined with gelatin to produce 3D hydrogels. Hybrid gels (GelHS) were prepared by physical or chemical cross-linking. The physicochemical features of the gels were evaluated using various techniques, and the results showed the formation of an amide bond between HS and gelatin via EDC chemistry. The gels exhibited antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and the chemical cross-linking process improved their viscoelastic behavior, crystalline structures, water uptake, and biocidal activity.

Summary: Bioactive glasses (BGs) and glass-ceramics (BGCs) are versatile biomaterials used for various medical applications including bone bonding, soft tissue repair, and drug delivery. This study aims to redefine BGs and BGCs by comparing their structure, processing, and properties with other biomaterials, enabling consideration of all current and future applications. The proposed definitions emphasize the non-equilibrium, non-crystalline nature of bioactive glasses and the presence of at least one crystalline phase in glass-ceramics, both designed to induce specific biological activity. These materials have the potential to bond with bone and soft tissues, promote regeneration, and deliver therapeutic ions or other treatments for orthopedic, dental, and wound healing purposes.

Summary: We present a simple and efficient method for glass metallization using laser micro-structuring at ambient conditions. Through laser-induced mechanical interlocking and deposition of Cu layers, we achieved a thick and well-adhered Cu metal film on the glass substrate. This method enables the realization of glass-based circuit materials for high-frequency electronic devices, providing an alternative to chemical-based copper plating.

Summary: The size of bioactive glass microspheres has a significant impact on their dissolution characteristics, with smaller microspheres being more inert and larger microspheres developing typical silica-rich and calcium phosphate layers on their surfaces after static and dynamic dissolution.

Summary: Biomaterials play an important role in bone tissue regeneration, especially in cases of trauma, infection, and congenital abnormalities. Bioactive glasses can bond with host bone and induce bone and blood vessel growth, with their composition manipulated to maximize osteogenesis and angiogenesis, providing a structure that resists physiological stresses. Accurate methods for studying and quantifying osteogenesis and angiogenesis in bioactive glass experiments are crucial for identifying potential future clinical applications.

Summary: The study examines the use of active microwave thermography (AMT) to detect interfacial debonding of the CFRP-concrete interface caused by external mechanical loading. Correlations between mechanical response and AMT results show that the initiation and propagation of CFRP-concrete interfacial damage can be monitored by the AMT technique.
