Hollow glass microspheres as potential adjunct with orthopaedic metal implants
Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) prepared via Flame Spraying Technique. Precursors were Amber Glass Frits from laboratory waste glass. In vitro bioactivity determined by SBF soaking studies. Hydroxyapatite (HA) development confirmed the bioactivity of HGMs. HA formation confirmed by morphology and X-ray diffraction studies.
