Bioactive
in vitro study corresponding to
an ordered mesoporous glass with 2D hexagonal structure and composition. (a) Schematic representation of 2D hexagonal pore arrangement. (b) Variation of pH as a function of time at
the bioceramic surface and SBF, highlighting the pH range where OCP phase is
more stable. (c) HRTEM study after different times of incubation showing a
sequential transition from ACP to OCP and to CDHA. For each time, a low
magnification image, a higher magnification and its corresponding FT transform are shown.
