Influence of NiO Nanoparticles on Physical Properties of TiO₂ Doped Magnesium Ultra-Phosphate Glass-Ceramics

Tuning the physical properties of inorganic glass-ceramics through controlled doping of magnetic nanoparticles is topically challenging. A series of glass-ceramic having chemical composition 75P2O5-17MgO-(3-x)TiO2-5Li2O with x = 0 to 3 mol% containing nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared by melt quenching method (MQT) via heat treatment at 350 °C. The effect of NiO NPs on thermal and magnetization response are examined. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern confirm the amorphous nature of the samples. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) measurement shows the decrement of glass stability from 327°C to 295°C with the increase of titanium dioxide (TiO2) contents which are glass seem to be unstable. Significant increase in the magnetization is evidenced with the increase of NiO nanoparticles from 1.5 mol% to 2 mol%. The improved physical properties of these glass-ceramics suggest their usefulness in photo-electronic.

Magnetic bioactive glass ceramic in the system CaO-P2O5-SiO2-MgO-CaF2-MnO2-Fe2O3 for hyperthermia treatment of bone tumor

Magnetic bioactive glass ceramic (MG) in the system CaO-SiO(2)-P(2)O(5)-MgO-CaF(2)-MnO(2)-Fe(2)O(3) for hyperthermia treatment of bone tumor was synthesized. The phase composition was investigated by XRD. The magnetic property was measured by VSM. The in vitro bioactivity was investigated by simulated body fluid (SBF) soaking experiment. Cell growth on the surface of the material was evaluated by co-culturing osteoblast-like ROS17/2.8 cells with materials for 7 days. The results showed that MG contained CaSiO(3) and Ca(5)(PO(4))(3)F as the main phases, and MnFe(2)O(4) and Fe(3)O(4) as the magnetic phases. Under a magnetic field of 10,000 Oe, the saturation magnetization and coercive force of MG were 6.4 emu/g and 198 Oe, respectively. After soaking in SBF for 14 days, hydroxyapatite containing CO(3)(2-) was observed on the surface of MG. The experiment of co-culturing cells with material showed that cells could successfully attach and well proliferate on MG.
