Crystallization behavior and microstructure of bio glass-ceramic system

In this paper, the effects of Al2O3 on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of Al2O3 content on the mechanical, density, phas...

Description
Summary:In this paper, the effects of Al2O3 on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of Al2O3 content on the mechanical, density, phase formation and microstructures of Na2O-CaO-P2O5-Al2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics were studied. Thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes' method. It was found that the glass-ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent Al2O3 had desirable sintering behavior and reached to an acceptable density. The phase investigation and micro structural study were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.
