  • Bioactive composites of polymer and glass and method for making same
    Patent number: 9662821
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a bioactive composite, the method comprising the steps of a) adding in a solid state a biocompatible polymer and a bioactive glass to an extruder to form an extrudable material; b) applying energy to the extrudable material to at least the melting temperature of the biocompatible polymer to melt mix the biocompatible polymer and bioactive glass; and c) extruding a bioactive composite.
