文摘

We present the structural, dielectric, biocompatibility and antibacterial properties of nano-sized calcium phosphosilicate bioglass ceramics doped with 0, 2, 4 and 6 mol% Ag2O. Sol-gel processes were chosen to synthesize the silver embedded nanosized glass ceramic particles. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV–visible and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The glass-ceramic nature of the samples is confirmed by XRD analysis. The FTIR spectra reveal the probable stretching and bending vibration modes of silicate and phosphate groups. UV–visible absorption spectra reveal the silver embedment as Ag+/Ag° form in the glass matrix. Nano-size of the glass ceramics and silver nanoparticle embedment in glass matrix are confirmed by HR-TEM analysis. Dielectric spectra of samples reveal non-Debye relaxation processes. The dielectric constant of samples initially decreased and then increased with Ag2O content. The antibacterial activities of these bioceramics were tested with different bacteria using an agar well diffusion method. Silver doped samples show good antibacterial effects without compromising the formation of hydroxyapatites. The dielectric constant of the bioglass ceramics is correlated to their antibacterial performance, with low dielectric constants giving higher antibacterial activity.
