Phosphate glasses (PGs) exhibit attractive properties such as low glass transition and melting temperatures, high thermal expansion coefficients and among other also biocompatibility. Recently, PGs are intensively studied as third-generation biomaterials, i.e. as materials capable of specific biological response. Their advantage is that they can be prepared to include ions commonly found in human body as Ca2+ and Na+ and the composition can be widely tailored by the addition of other metals (Ti, Ga, Zn ..) to modify their properties.

 

In this work, bulk glasses of systems TiO2-CaO-ZnO-P2O5 and TiO2-Na2O-ZnO-P2O5 were prepared by conventional melting procedure. The Raman spectroscopy and both 31P and 23Na MAS NMR spectroscopy were used to obtain information on their short as well as intermediate-range structure. As Ti+IV(d0 system) was partially reduced to Ti+III(d1 system) during synthesis, the vicinity of this paramagnetic sites could be also studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance. The thermal properties of glasses were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermomechanical analysis.

 

Subsequently, prepared glasses were used to form protective coatings on a corundum and b-titanium substrate by spin coating method. Resulted glass ceramic layer was described using XRD, Raman and optical microscopy. The crystalline phase has been found to be titanium diphosphate.

 

The surface of glasses and layers was evaluated by contact angle measurements and microhardness. Being a significant property in medical use, attention was also paid to the study of the glass dissolution kinetics in the physiological solution.
