Bioceramics Composed of Calcium Polyphosphate Fibers

Abstract
High-strength glass-ceramics consisting of crystalline fibers were synthesized by controlled crystallization of glasses in the CaO-P2O5 system. Their unique microstructure and mechanical properties are reported. The fibers are also successfully extracted from the glass matrix. These glass-ceramics and ceramic fibers are proposed for new applications to bio-related fields.
