Investigations on selected bioactive glasses and glass ceramics containing iron oxide

Abstract

Magnetism and magnetic materials have a strong role to play in health care and biological application such as cell separation drug delivery and magnetic intracellular hyperthermia treatment of cancer Magnetic bioglass ceramics MBC are complex and multiphase biocompatible materials usually fabricated from the original bioglass with the addition of Fe2O3 in the basic bioglass composition MBCs exhibit bioactivity as well as magnetic properties This Ph D thesis work is focussed on the prepar
