Table 3 Nominal compositions (mol%) of the SiO2–P2O5–CaO–CaF2 glasses, together with the temperature of crystallisation treatment (TP1, in °C). A comparison of nominal and analysed fluoride contents is provided in Supplementary Table 1.

From: Bioactive glass–ceramics containing fluorapatite, xonotlite, cuspidine and wollastonite form apatite faster than their corresponding glasses
