SODIUM CONTAINING SOL-GEL DERIVED BIOACTIVE GLASSES AND USES THEREOF INCLUDING HEMOSTASIS

摘要

A sol-gel bioactive glass precursor, method for making sol-gel glasses, resultant sol-gel bioactive glasses, and methods of use thereof which include introducing Na2O into the glass network during the sol-gel process through the use of Na-ethoxide, NaCl, or sodium silicate rather than sodium nitrate. Medical and industrial uses of such glasses.
