Sintering Behavior of a Six-Oxide Silicate Bioactive Glass for Scaffold Manufacturing

The intrinsic brittleness of bioactive glasses (BGs) is one of the main barriers to the widespread use of three-dimensional porous BG-derived bone grafts (scaffolds) in clinical practice. Among all the available strategies for improving the mechanical properties of BG-based scaffolds, strut densific...
