Meso- and Macro-porous Bioactive Glasses for Bone-repairing

本项目旨在利用自组装和不同长度尺度的孔工程技术，制备具有高度有序介孔结构的新型生物活性玻璃。通过精确控制中孔和大孔的组成、大小和体积，可以获得具有改善骨形成活性的生物活性玻璃。这种生物活性玻璃的成功合成有望为我们对结构-生物活性关系的基本认识提供基础，并为组织工程提供有效的新材料。这也将为其他应用开辟新的机会，如药物输送、植入。

This project aims to use self-assembly and pore engineering at different length scales to fabricate novel bioactive glasses of highly ordered mesoporous structure. By precisely controlling the composition, size and volume of both mesopores and macropores, bioactive glasses with improved bone forming activities will be obtained. The successful synthesis of such bioactive glasses is expected to lead to the fundamental understanding of structure-bioactivity relationship, and new materials effective for tissue engineering. This will also open up new opportunities for other applications such as drug delivery, implanting.
