In vitro bioactivity and biocompatibility assessment of PCL/PLA–scaffolded mesoporous silicate bioactive glass: role of boron activation by Md. Zain, Siti Khalijah, Sazali, Ezza Syuhada, Ghoshal, Sib Krishna, Hisam, Rosdiyana

“…Bioactive glasses with rapid biodegradation and efficient biomineralization for damaged bone tissue repair remain deficient. Based on this fact, some new types of boron-activated mesoporous Bioactive silicate glasses (BMSGs) were made to determine the feasibility of achieving their improved mechanical strength, structure, porosity, biodegradability and bone healing performance. …”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”
