The present study was undertaken to determine the biocompatibility of a newly-developed CaO-P2O5-MgO-SiO2-CaF system glass ceramic tooth implant. Two adult male monkeys were selected and 12 weeks after extraction of M1 and P1, 8 glass ceramic teeth were implanted into alveolar bone. At 1 week after implantation, 6 teeth were allowed occlusal function, and 2 teeth were left free from occlusion as control teeth. The implants were observed for 4-12 weeks and examined histopathologically. The results were as follows: 1. Seven implanted teeth were well maintained clinically, and only one tooth was lost after 5 weeks. 2. In histopathological observation, implanted teeth were surrounded by bone, and connected by bonyankylosis. At cervix of dental implant, connective tissue as also attached firmly to implanted tooth surfaces and epithelial attachment was observed. 3. Although these implants were allowed occlusal function at an early stage (1 week after implantation), osteogenesis around implants was not disturbed. These results suggest that the new glass ceramic implant has good biocompatibility and is useful as an implant tooth.

A transparent fluoroborosilicate glass ceramic was designed for the controllable precipitation of fluoride nanocrystals and to greatly enhance the photoluminescence of active ions. Through the introduction of BO into fluorosilicate glass, the melting temperature was decreased from 1400 to 1050 °C, and the abnormal crystallization in the fabrication process of fluorosilicate glass was avoided. More importantly, the controlled crystallizations of KZnF and KYbF in fluoroborosilicate glass ceramics enhanced the emission of Mn and Mn-Yb dimers by 6.

Bone is a natural mineral-organic nanocomposite protecting internal organs and allowing mobility. Through the ages, numerous strategies have been developed for repairing bone defects and fixing fractures. Several generations of bone repair biomaterials have been proposed, either based on metals, ceramics, glasses, or polymers, depending on the clinical need, the maturity of technologies, and knowledge of the natural constitution of the bone tissue to be repaired.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been identified as promising candidates for future electronic devices. However, high dielectric constant (κ) materials, which can be integrated with 2D semiconductors, are still rare. Here, we report a hydrate-assisted thinning chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique to grow manganese oxide (MnO) single crystal nanosheets, enabled by a strategy to minimize the substrate lattice mismatch and control the growth kinetics.

Cellulose has outstanding potential for application in energy storage batteries due to its high temperature resistance, high electrolyte affinity, renewability, and suppression of the shuttle effect, but single cellulose membranes still suffer from problems such as inhomogeneous pore distribution and unstable three-dimensional network structure. In this study, a green and sustainable regenerative cellulose (RC)/sodium alginate (SA) gel electrolyte membrane is developed by sol-gel process, the double crosslinked network scaffold centered on Zn was constructed by the synergistic hydrogen-bonding and metal ion- coordination network, the stable and uniform pore structure was also formed. The obtained RC-SA gel electrolyte membrane exhibits outstanding performance, featuring a dual crosslinked network with abundant pore structure and numerous polar groups that effectively enhance Zn transport, significantly improving battery cycling performance.
