Combined Experimental and Computational Approach toward the Structural Design of Borosilicate-Based Bioactive Glasses

Published in Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2020

NMR and atomistic calculations examine how phosphate changes sodium borosilicate glass networks. Phosphate attracts modifier ions, redistributes borate and silicate units, and can form phosphorus–oxygen–boron linkages. The resulting structural model provides a basis for understanding composition-dependent dissolution in potentially bioactive glasses.
