Porous bioactive glasses were prepared by the sol-gel method using poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads as organic template. The structure of PMMA beads and glasses prepared were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX),. In vitro bioactivity of these porous glasses was achieved by immersing them in a simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 C and pH 7.4 for a reaction time period of 14 days. These porous glasses are bioactive and may be used as biomaterials in tissue engineering applications.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
