The purpose of this work was to study the effect of ZnO on properties of P 2O 5-CaO-Na 2O glass system for bone substituting applications. The glass formula used in this study is 45P 2O 5 - (30-x)CaO - 25Na 2O - xZnO where x = 0, 1, 3, and 5 mol%. The corresponding glasses were prepared by conventio...
