Abstract
Fluoroapatite containing glass-ceramics were prepared from Li2O-CaO-CaF2-P2O5-SiO2 system. The glass was melted at 1480°C for 1 h. The object of observation was the preparing crystal phase of fluoroapatite in amorphous glass matrix. The morphology of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics was studied by SEM. The crystal growth and thermal properties of fluoroapatite were studied by X-ray diffraction and DTA. The more the content of P2O5, the more the presence of fluoroapatite particles. SEM investigation clearly indicated the phase separation and formation of a primary crystalline phase of fluoroapatite in the studied glass-ceramics. DTA curves of the fluoroapatite samples exhibit exothermic effects in the temperature range 337-694°C depending on the composition of the materials. The position of exothermic peak for lithium disilicate on DTA curves moves with increasing specific surfacetowards lower temperatures which points on its preferential surface crystallization. As far as physical qualities are concerned, mainly color and gloss, the best qualities of all observed materials belong to glass-ceramics with 10% P2O5.
