Effect of germanium oxide on the structural aspects and bioactivity of bioactive silicate glass

Abstract Ternary silicate glass (69SiO2–27CaO–4P2O5) was synthesized with the sol–gel route, and different percentages of germanium oxide GeO2 (6.25, 12.5, and 25%) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were added. DFT calculations were performed at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level of theory for molecular modelling. X-...
