So far, silica-based bioactive glasses have been traditionally used to facilitate periodontal reconstruction or bone repair, but now many new borate-based bioactive glasses are used as scaffolds for soft tissue engineering.
Researchers are now combining advanced materials like bioactive glasses and 3D printing techniques to create custom scaffolds and implants that dissolve in the body and are replaced with new tissues.
Mo-Sci Corporation co-founder, Delbert Day, PhD has been named a National Academy of Inventors (NAI) Fellow. A lifelong glass and ceramics pioneer, Dr Day’s work with specialty glasses has lead to treatments for liver cancer, bone defects, and wound care.
Developers are increasingly looking to Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) to help reduce the carbon emissions associated with electricity generation because of its high conversion efficiency and suitability for distributed generation.
Fluorescent glass powders and spheres can be used in a wide variety of applications such as medical imaging, biomedical diagnostics and research, testing media, tracing and art glass enamels.
Glass microspheres are utilized in numerous industry applications from research, medicine, aerospace, and adhesive to name a few.
