Article Synopsis
- The study explores how enhancing the interconnected porous network in ceramic implants can improve their bioactivity and ingrowth.
- Researchers used pulsed laser radiation to create 300 µm diameter craters on biocompatible eutectic glass-ceramics and glasses to increase surface area for better interaction with body fluids.
- After machining, samples were soaked in simulated body fluid for 2 months to evaluate hydroxyapatite layer formation, with various advanced imaging techniques used to analyze their morphology and composition.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is applied to characterize the formation of porous hydroxyapatite layers on the surface of 0.8CaSiO₃-0.2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ biocompatible eutectic glass immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF).
