Description: This specialised book entitled “Bioceramics” consists of papers published by Trans Tech Publications Inc. over the period of 2018 - 2019 years and introduces the reader to a wide range of research results and engineering solutions in the area of the development and use of modern bioceramic materials.

Description: "Bioceramics 28" (proceedings of the 28th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine, held October 18 to 21, 2016, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA) describes the most recent research efforts in the development of new methods for synthesis and characterization of bioceramics for various applications in the medical field. The multidisciplinary nature of the field of bioceramics has brought together contributions from authors with wide diversity of backgrounds including, clinicians, engineers and scientists. The chapters of the book demonstrate the extensive research efforts directed to exploit the application of bioceramic as a delivery system for anticancer drugs, antibiotics, growth factors, peptides and therapeutic ions. Moreover, the methods of manufacturing and processing of bioceramics as bulk, coating on substrate, gel, porous granules or cement are described.

The present special topic volume entitled “Glass Science and its Applications – II” covers different glasses and glass ceramic materials for technological and biomedical applications. In this special issue, the first review paper reports on the linear and non- linear properties of different materials. The second paper reports the visible-NIR luminescence and time-resolved emission spectral profiles of Nd3+, and Er3+ doped silver zinc borate glasses. The third paper, As2O3 glasses were identified as the low-loss materials for long-distance optical transmission and CuO containing glasses are also draw special attention because of the p-type semiconductivity property. Glass system of composition Li2O-Na2O-B2O3: Fe2O3 with replacing alkali oxides one by another have been reported in the fourth paper. Dielectric properties of these glasses have also been explored. In biomedical applications, CaO-P2O5 based glass reinforced hydroxyapatite composite material for bone regenerative applications have been reported in paper five and six. Paper six, the guided bone regeneration procedure using a glass-reinforced HA and collagen membrane in the treatment of an intrabony defect was reported. Authors hope that this special volume may be useful for those who are searching for a general overview of glass science and its applications in different fields.
