Next-Gen Bioglass Fibers

Researchers have developed a method to produce durable phosphate glass fibers with uniform diameters directly from the glass melt state. This breakthrough optimizes temperature and haul-off speed to create fibers with remarkable durability, even under severe conditions. The study highlights the potential for phosphate glass fibers in various applications like bioresorbable implants and tissue engineering scaffolds, offering advantages over traditional silicate glasses. Exciting future investigations will explore further enhancements and applications.
