Bio-glasses : an introduction / [edited by] Julian Jones and Alexis G. Clare. - Chichester, West Sussex : Wiley, 2012. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The unique nature of glass / Alexis G. Clare -- Melt derived bioactive glass / Matthew D. O'Donnell -- Sol-gel derived glasses for medicine / Julian R. Jones -- Phosphate glasses / Delia S. Brauer -- The structure of bioactive glasses and their surfaces / Alastair N. Cormack -- Bioactive borate glasses / Steven B. Jung -- Glass-ceramics / Wolfram H'land -- Bioactive glass- and glass-ceramic coatings / Enrica Vern -- Composites containing bioactive glass / Aldo R. Boccaccini and Qi-Zhi Chen -- Inorganic-organic sol-gel hybrids / Yuki Shirosaki [and others] -- Dental applications of glasses / Leena Hupa and Antti Yli-Urpo -- Bioactive glass as synthetic bone grafts and scaffolds for tissue engineering / Julian R. Jones -- Glasses for radiotherapy / Delbert E. Day.

This new work is dedicated to glasses and their variants which can be used as biomaterials to repair diseased and damaged tissues. Bio-glasses are superior to other biomaterials in many applications, such as healing bone by signaling stem cells to become bone cells.
