"The solubility of phosphate glasses in aqueous solutions can be tailored through compositional control to obtain a wide range of ion release rates required for a variety of applications. The principal objective of this dissertation is to advance the understanding of the dissolution behavior of phosphate glasses in aqueous environments.
Two families of glasses, sodium-iron phosphate (NFP) glasses and sodium-calcium phosphate (NCP) glasses, were evaluated. The dissolution behavior depends on the phosphate anions that constitute the glass structure and the associated metal (Me) cations. The phosphate glass structure, defined by the distribution and average size of phosphate anions and depending …
