BIO-ACTIVE GLASS COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CRYSTALLIZED GLASS USING THE BIO-ACTIVE GLASS COMPOSITION

摘要

A bioactive glass composition and a method for manufacturing crystallized glass using the same are provided to properly control bio-activation, flexural strength, glass transition temperature and/or a coefficient of thermal expansion by controlling the kinds and amount of additives. A method for manufacturing crystallized glass using a bioactive glass composition comprises: a first step of mixing calcium oxide(CaO), silica(SiO2), phosphorus pentoxide(P2O5), magnesium oxide(MgO) and calcium fluoride(CaF2) with one oxide selected from the group consisting of strontium oxide(SrO), boron oxide(B2O3), sodium oxide(Na2O), kalium oxide(K2O), zirconia(ZrO2), alumina(Al2O3) and lithium oxide(Li2O) as an additive(S10); a second step of heating the mixture and cooling off them to form a glass precursor(S20); a third step of pulverizing the glass precursor to obtain glass powder(S30); a fourth step of granulating the glass powder(S40); and a fifth step of molding the glass powder and sintering it to obtain crystallized glass(S50).
