Atomic Structure Of Chlorine Containing Calcium Silicate Glasses By Neutron Diffraction And 29Si Solid-State Nmr

Bioactive glasses are of great importance for medical and denetal applications. In order to understand, model and predict the behaviour of these materials, and ultimately improve their design, it is important to understand the structure of these glasses. Ion dissolution is known to be the crucial first step in bioactivity and is strongly dependent upon the atomic-scale structure and network connectivity.
