Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is a matter of great pleasure to invite you to contribute to present Special Issue on “Advanced Bioactive Glasses and Ceramic Coatings”.

Ceramics are very useful and versatile materials. They can be used in many ways and forms in industry or in the biomedical field. The ceramics utilized in biomedical areas are called bioceramics or bioglasses. Bioceramics as well as bioglasses can be used as replacements for hard tissues in human bodies in order to repair damaged bones, owing to their unique chemical and mechanical properties. Moreover, they can also be used in dentistry as injectable bone cements, coatings on implants in orthopaedics, scaffolds in tissue engineering, or as drug carriers. In addition, the glass-ceramic materials can combine the advantageous properties of each component, such as porosity, toughness, and mechanical strength. Bioactive glasses are regarded as a class of bioceramic materials. They also possess appropriate biocompatibility and bioactivity in biological environments. The other main advantage of bioglasses and bioceramics is that they can form a strong chemical bond at the interface when they applied as special coatings, promoting their integration into the bone tissues and stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation. To date, three main types of bioactive glasses are known: silicate-based glass (SiO2), phosphate-based glass (P2O5), and borate-based glass (B2O3). However, there is intensive research on developing new types of bioglasses and bioceramics by doping them with other bioactive elements or minerals, thus improving their bioactivity.

Additive manufacturing technologies can be used to fabricate 3D-printed dental restorations. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the functionalized loading of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles and silver-nanoparticles-immobilized halloysite (HNC/Ag) nanotubes into 3D printing resins. We created 3D printing resins by adding different mass fractions of ZrO2 and HNC/Ag. First, six groups of samples containing ZrO2 were prepared, comprising five groups with different mass fractions and one control group of ZrO2 containing 1 to 16 %wt. Different mass fractions of HNC/Ag fillers were combined with the ZrO2 mixture and resin at the ideal ratio from 1 to 7.5 %wt. The mechanical characteristics of 3D resin that we assessed were the flexural strength, flexural modulus, fracture toughness, and the microhardness. Additional rates of ZrO2 4 %wt. and HNC/Ag 5 %wt. significantly increase the flexural strength, flexural modulus, and fracture toughness compared to the control group (p < 0.001). ZrO2 16 %wt. and HNC/Ag 5 %wt. were found to be significantly harder compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). The amounts of NPs that can be added to 3D printing resin modification appears to be 4 %wt., and HNC/Ag 5 %wt. can be advantageous in terms of fracture toughness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus. All additions of nanoparticles raised the resin’s hardness. Full article

For decades, a significant amount of research has been conducted on the vitrification of mixtures of all kinds of industrial wastes, especially fly ash, both from thermal power plants and municipal waste incinerators. Although the possibility of creating glass from all types of fly ash has been proven through such research, these studies barely focused on the emission of volatile components that takes place during vitrification processes at high temperatures. This is why, after identifying the types of volatilisation that can occur, we characterised the gasses that are emitted during the vitrification of some types of fly ash and other waste in a laboratory furnace. In order to do so, we analysed the Cl2 and SO2 gasses emitted using the DTA/TG/FTIR techniques, as well as the losses of H2O and CO2. The authors also measured the volatilizations directly from the mouth of the furnace using gas chromatography syringes and analysed the possible emission of dioxins. This study is the first analysis of volatile elements of this kind, after numerous vitrifications in recent decades which ignored the volatilisations that occur when using fly ashes. Although the various types of fly ash used generate emissions of Cl2 and SO2, their use as a by-product on an industrial level could be recommended if previous thermal and washing treatments are conducted. These would minimise the above emissions, enabling the use of said fly ash in the production of glasses for commercial frits, even if an efficient industrial-scale gas cleaning system would apply. Furthermore, an appropriate optimised design of its formulation would make it possible to structurally link some of these gaseous components to the glass structure. These types of results will make it possible to calculate the volatilization when vitrifying certain types of industrial waste on an industrial level, although these studies would require prior assessment in a pilot plant.
