abstract:
Commercial Bioglass® 45S5 powder was sintered using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique without the assistance of mechanical pressure with heating and cooling rate of 100 °C/min, dwell temperature of 1050 °C and dwell time of 30 min. Such route enabled the production of samples exhibiting superior mechanical properties in comparison with Bioglass® sintered in furnace. In particular, flexural strength and fracture toughness reached values close to those of apatite-wollastonite bioceramics, already widely used in clinical applications. The residual stresses implemented by indentation promoted the formation of a new phase in samples sintered by SPS. Complementary use of Raman and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicated the phase as sodium carbide and a formation mechanism was proposed.
