Quaternary phosphate-based glasses in the P2O5-CaO-Na2O-TiO2 system with a fixed P2O5 and CaO content of 40 and 25 mol% respectively have been successfully synthesised via sol-gel method and bulk, transparent samples were obtained. The structure, elemental proportion, and thermal properties of stabilised sol-gel glasses have been characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), P-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (P-31 NMR), titanium K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The XRD results confirmed the amorphous nature for all stabilized sol-gel derived glasses. The EDX result shows the relatively low loss of phosphorus during the sol-gel process and Ti K-edge XANES confirmed titanium in the glass structure is in mainly six-fold coordination environment. The P-31 NMR and FTIR results revealed that the glass structure consist of mainly Q(1) and Q(2) phosphate units and the Ti4+ cation was acting as a cross-linking between phosphate units. In addition DTA results confirmed a decrease in the glass transition and crystallisation temperature with increasing Na2O content. Ion release studies also demonstrated a decrease in degradation rates with increasing TiO2 content therefore supporting the use of these glasses for biomedical applications that require a degree of control over glass degradation. These sol-gel glasses also offer the potential to incorporate proactive molecules for drug delivery application due to the low synthesis temperature employed.
