Abstract

This chapter highlights the multifaceted role of glass-ceramics in biomedical applications, underscoring their unique combination of biocompatibility, bioactivity, and mechanical robustness. It begins by examining the fundamental principles governing the composition and structure of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics, highlighting the critical role of specific oxides like silica, calcium oxide, sodium oxide, and phosphorous pentoxide in enhancing their properties. The discussion extends to various processing techniques, including conventional melting-quenching, sol-gel, and sintering, each offering distinct advantages for customizing the microstructure and properties of glass-ceramics. These methods enable precise engineering of glass-ceramics for specific biomedical functions such as tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery matrices.
