Development of self-healing material with ability of remineralization using nanobioglass

这项研究的结果表明，生物玻璃/树脂复合材料的亲水性树脂组合物长期在水中而不是在模拟体液中结晶是一种常见的行为。这些结晶沉积物由碳酸钙(CaCO3)组成。在富含离子的环境中，例如人工唾液或牙本质小管液，这种晶体的形成可能会加速。然而，进一步的努力将集中在复合材料的成分与测试溶液中作为临床条件下更有用的自我修复材料的反应矿化产物之间的关系。

The result of this study shows that crystal formation is a common behavior of a "hydrophilic" resin composition of bioglass/resin composites in water over long-term, instead of in simulated body fluid. These crystal depositions consisted of calcium carbonate (CaCO_3). Such crystal formation may be accelerated in an ion-rich environment such as artificial saliva or dentinal tubule fluid. However, further efforts will be focused on the relation between the ingredients of composite materials and reacting mineralized products in test solutions that are more useful as self-healing materials in clinical conditions.
