Ti K-edge XANES study of the local environment of titanium in bioresorbable TiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5 glasses.

Ti K-edge XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) spectroscopy has been used to study the local coordination of titanium in biocompatible and bioresorbable TiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5 glasses. Both conventional melt-quenched glasses of composition (TiO2)x(CaO)0.30(Na2O)0.

Sol-gel preparation and high-energy XRD study of (CaO)x(TiO2) 0.5-x(P2O5)0.5 glasses (x = 0 and 0.25).

Glasses from the CaO-TiO2-P2O5 system have potential use in biomedical applications. Here a method for the sol-gel synthesis of the ternary glass (CaO)0.25(TiO2)0.
