Method: The materials used in the study were: 1) Macor, (Precision Ceramics UK) 2) BioMinF: 500gm of glass frit (Cera Dynamics Ltd, UK) and 3) Sylc: Sylc 45S5 glass (Velopex International, UK). An AquaCare Air Abrasion & Polishing System (Velopex) with a hand piece with a 0.8 mm diameter tip was used with a 2mm thick Macor sheet with a feed rate of 1 and an air pressure of 2 bar. The BioMinF glass was milled for 45 seconds in five batches each containing 100 gm of BioMinF frit using a milling machine (Gy-Ro Mill, Glen Creston, and London). The angular particles produced were separated using different sieves to produce <38 micron, 38-63 microns, 63-80 microns, 80-125 microns and 125-250 microns particle size(s) respectively.

Copper is known to be an antibacterial agent, which could potentially be a safer alternative to doping materials with antibiotics. Additionally, the structural effects of copper in the glass were studied, as the glass structure plays an important role in its bioactivity in the physiological solutions. This leads to the possibility of achieving antibacterial glass that can serve as a bioactive glass for skeletal tissue. bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.24.918524; this version posted January 25, 2020.

Received: 19 February 2018; Accepted: 13 March 2018; Published: 16 March 2018 Abstract: Nowadays, bioactive glasses (BGs) are mainly used to improve and support the healing process of osseous defects deriving from traumatic events, tumor removal, congenital pathologies, implant revisions, or infections. In the past, several approaches have been proposed in the replacement of extensive bone defects, each one with its own advantages and drawbacks. As a result, the need for synthetic bone grafts is still a remarkable clinical challenge since more than 1 million bone-graft surgical operations are annually performed worldwide. Moreover, recent studies show the effectiveness of BGs in the regeneration of soft tissues, too. Often, surgical criteria do not match the engineering ones and, thus, a compromise is required for getting closer to an ideal outcome in terms of good regeneration, mechanical support, and biocompatibility in contact with living tissues. The aim of the present review is providing a general overview of BGs, with particular reference to their use in clinics over the last decades and the latest synthesis/processing methods.

  • 3D Manufacturing of Glass Microstructures Using Femtosecond Laser
    micromachines Review 3D Manufacturing of Glass Microstructures Using Femtosecond Laser Agne˙ Butkute˙ 1,2* and Linas Jonušauskas 1,2* 1 Femtika Ltd., Sauletekio˙ Ave. 15, LT-10224 Vilnius, Lithuania 2 Laser Research Center, Vilnius University, Sauletekio˙ Ave. 10, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (L.J.) Abstract: The rapid expansion of femtosecond (fs) laser technology brought previously unavailable capabilities to laser material processing. One of the areas which benefited the most due to these advances was the 3D processing of transparent dielectrics, namely glasses and crystals. This review is dedicated to overviewing the significant advances in the field. First, the underlying physical mechanism of material interaction with ultrashort pulses is discussed, highlighting how it can be exploited for volumetric, high-precision 3D processing. Next, three distinct transparent material modification types are introduced, fundamental differences between them are explained, possible applications are highlighted. It is shown that, due to the flexibility of fs pulse fabrication, an array of structures can be produced, starting with nanophotonic elements like integrated waveguides and photonic crystals, ending with a cm-scale microfluidic system with micro-precision integrated elements. Possible limitations to each processing regime as well as how these could be overcome are discussed. Further directions for the field development are highlighted, taking into account how it could synergize with other fs-laser-based manufacturing techniques. Citation: Butkute,˙ A.; Jonušauskas, L.
