In Vitro Evaluation of Some Types of Ferrimagnetic Glass Ceramics by S. A. M. Abdel-Hameed, M. A. Marzouk, R. L. Elwan

“…The investigation of the results clarified that the addition of CaO or ZnO accelerated the formation of apatite on the surfaces of the samples in the simulated body fluid faster than other metal oxides. Inductive coupled plasma (ICP) analysis shows the evolution of ion extraction by the simulated body fluid solution (SBF) with time in relation to the elemental composition.…”
