Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global ageing society has significantly increased the need for implant materials, which not only replace damaged or lost tissue but are also able to regenerate it. The field of bioactive glasses has been expanding continuously over recent years as they have been shown to bond with hard and soft tissue, release therapeutically active ions, and be capable of enhancing bone formation and regeneration. In addition, they are successfully being used to re-mineralise teeth, thereby making bioactive glasses highly attractive materials in both dentistry and medicine. Understanding the multidisciplinary requirements set by the human body’s environment and the special characteristics of the different families of bioactive glasses is a key in developing new compositions to novel clinical applications. Bioactive Glasses aims to bridge the different scientific communities associated with the field of bioactive glasses with focus on the materials science point of view. Emerging applications covered include soft tissue regeneration, wound healing, vascularisation, cancer treatment and drug delivery devices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest applications of bioactive glasses for material scientists.

However bioactive glasses still awake the fascination of scientists, lecturers, students, dentists, orthopedic surgeons, etc. all over the World.The research developed during the subsequent decades has resulted in new materials that significantly differ from the original melt-derived Bioglass. The use of the sol-gel process in the 1990's and the discovery of mesoporous bioactive glasses in the 2000's revealed new potential applications in the field of bone regeneration and drug delivery platforms. Besides, the development of rapid prototyping techniques has allowed manufacturing bioglass-based 3D scaffolds in combination with polymers, which boosts the long-standing expectative of using bioactive glasses for the treatment of critical bone defects. Finally, the advances in nanomedicine have opened new research lines involving the synthesis and development of bioactive glass nanoparticles."Bioactive glasses: properties, composition and recent applications" consists of ten chapters written be worldwide recognized experts in this field. The book covers the most important topics in the field of bioactive glasses, from its discovering to the most recent advances in preparation methods and applications. This book is addressed to researchers involved in the field of bioceramics, but it also an excellent tool for undergraduate and PhD students, given that nowadays Biomaterials Science is a subject included in the program of many universities. Only knowing the discoveries that fifty years ago fascinated us, our students will understand the current efforts to expand the applications of bioactive glasses.
