EN A new kind of biomedical Ti-45S5 Bioglass-Ag nanocomposites and their scaffolds with antibacterial function was developed by the introduction of 1.5 wt% Ag into the Ti-10 wt% 45S5 Bioglass matrix. The microstructure, hardness and corrosion resistance in Ringer solution of the Ag-doped Ti-45S5 glass were investigated. The Vickers hardness of the bulk Ti-10 wt% 45S5 Bioglass-1.5 wt% Ag nanocomposites reached 480 HV 0.3 . Contact angles of water on the microcrystalline Ti and nanostructured Ti-10 wt% 45S5 Bioglass-1.5 wt% Ag sample were determined and show visible decrease from 55.2° to 49.6°. In vitro tests culture of normal human osteoblast cells showed very good cells proliferation, colonization and multilayering. In vitro bacterial adhesion study indicated a significantly reduced number of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) on the bulk nanostructured Ti-10 wt% 45S5 Bioglass-1.5 wt% Ag plate surface in comparison with that on microcrystalline Ti plate surface. Development of porous Ti-10 wt% 45S5 Bioglass-1.5 wt% Ag scaffolds aims in enhancing bone ingrowth and prosthesis fixation.
