Bioactive glass hybrids: a simple route towards the gelatin–SiO2–CaO system

Bioactive glass hybrids are among the most promising materials for bone regeneration, but the incorporation of calcium, a key element for mineralization properties of the implant, into the inorganic part of the hybrid network is challenging. We present here a synthesis route towards both class I and II gelatin–bioactive glass hybrids allowing the efficient incorporation of calcium ions at low temperature.
