Claim 0:
1. A fiber filament comprising a silicate-based glass composition, the glass composition comprising:
50-70 wt. % SiO2,
0.01-10 wt. % P2O5,
10-30 wt. % Na2O,
0.01-10 wt. % CaO,
0.01-10 wt. % MO, and
15-30 wt. % R2O,
wherein MO is the sum of MgO, CaO, SrO, BeO, and BaO;
wherein R2O is the sum of Na2O, K2O, Li2O, Rb2O, and Cs2O, and, wherein the fiber filament comprises a biopolymer coating including at least one of: polylactic acid (PLA), polyglyolic acid (PGA), co-polymers thereof (PLGA), poly D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), poly 3-hydroxybutyrate (P(3HB)), alginate, polycaprolactone (PCL), or polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA).
