A study conducted on sodium-bioglass/polythene composites and their bioactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF) is presented. Several compositions of Na-BG/PE composites were made by hot pressing and the activity studies of the samples were carried out by immersing the composites in SBF for periods of 7, 14 and 21 days. The activity of the samples was confirmed by the cauliflour-like growth of phosphates onto the surface of the samples observed in an environmental scanning electron microscope and further confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. X-ray diffraction showed the presence of various types of calcium phosphate phases. Ionic movement was observed by Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy from the sample to the SBF solution and the reverse trend was observed onto the surface of the sample by EDS.
