Bioactive glasses, which can be described by the general chemical formula SiO2ÀCaOÀP2O5ÀMO (M= Na, Mg, etc.), are used for bone and dental reconstruction because of their ability to bond to both soft and hard tissue with minimal inflammation and toxicity for the host.[1, 2] Although the medical application of oxide materials has been primarily for load-bearing implants,[3] there is a recent interest in porous inorganic materials that can interface with soft biological tissue/fluid,[4, 5] for example, blood. There is a widespread need for the development of new materials that can be applied by first-aid responders to prevent lethal amounts of blood loss from traumatically injured individuals.[6] Massive hemorrhage accounts for over 50% of battlefield fatalities, and consequently the United States military has expended great efforts to develop rapid-acting hemostatic agents, the leader of which is a zeolite-based [7] composite that can be poured onto a wound to stabilize a victim who might otherwise bleed to death.[8] Our laboratory was the first to identify hemostatic bioactive glass as a rapid-acting hemostatic agent [9] that demonstrates clotting activity comparable to the zeolite-based hemostatic agent currently used by United States soldiers but without the negative thermal side effect that tended to burn healthy tissue during application. Hemostatic bioactive glass, as a function of its Si/Ca ratio, high surface area, and porosity, is distinct from the traditional bioglass used for bone repair.[10, 11] Because both biomineralization [12] and blood clotting [13] are surface-mediated phenomena, we investigated the effect of changing the shape of the bioactive glass particles on the in vitro rates of hydroxyapatite deposition and hemostatic efficacy. High-surfacearea inorganic oxides are attractive materials for bone and tooth repair agents and now as newly identified hemostatic agents. Both the rates of hydroxyapatite deposition and hemostatic activity are enhanced for spherical bioactive glass particles compared to the analogous irregular bioactive glass. The porosity, Si/Ca ratio, and morphology of mesoporous bioactive glass microspheres (MBGMs) can be tailored to elicit a predictable biological response and they are therefore suitable for a variety of wound-healing scenarios. We have previously reported the preparation of highsurface area mesoporous bioactive glass particles that demonstrated accelerated deposition rates of hydroxyapatite in simulated body fluids (SBFs).[14] This synthesis relied on sol–gel chemistry techniques in which Si, Ca, and P inorganic precursors (tetraethyl orthosilicate, calcium nitrate, and triethyl phosphate) were controllably condensed around a structure-directing template (P123, triblock copolymer;(polyethylene oxide) 20 (polypropylene oxide) 70 (polyethylene oxide) 20). Despite the encouraging in vitro deposition rates of hydroxyapatite on mesoporous bioactive glass, the evaporation-induced cooperative-assembly process [10, 15, 16] is time consuming and requires a final grinding step to prepare the fine powder consistency of irregular-shaped bioactive glass that was used to formulate cements. Cooperative assembly of amphiphilic molecules (eg, surfactants and block copolymers) within aerosols is a powerful and flexible method for synthesizing ordered mesoporous silica particles, which can be used for catalysis, con-ACHTUNGTRENNUNGtrolled drug release, separation, and energy conversion.[17–19] We have extended our previous sol–gel preparation of mesoporous bioactive glass [14] to incorporate this aerosol method for the preparation of spherical bioactive glass particles. The P molar content was maintained at 4% for all …
