Tissue Engineering Scaffolds From La2O3 - Hydroxyapatite/Boron Glass Composites

Bioactive composites of bovine derived hydroxyapatite and boron containing bioactive glass were doped with 5, 10 and 15wt% lanthanum oxide (La2O3). Results showed that at low sintering temperatures (800 deg C) the doping oxide of La2O3 promoted transformation to crystalline phases. Formation of secondary phases, such as rhenanite, NaCaPO4, and calcium silicate, Ca2SiO4, were also found. La was found to act as modifier and influenced the viscosity.
