Abstract
Descriptions are given of the production conditions, microstructure, and properties of a glass ceramics containing silicon, sodium, and boron oxides together with the ash from animal bones. Two-stage sintering has been used above 1300 K and below 1100 K. The bulk porosity is in the range 11–72%. Details are presented of the optical absorption in the range 0.2–25 μm that are related to the presence of the biological hydroxyapatite. Such composites can be used as biomaterials.
