Nowadays, many researchers have focused on the preparation and characterization of new biomaterials which could be used for the bone tissue reconstruction without the problems of traditional metallic and organic materials. Consisting of two main chapters, this study gives the information about bioactive glass-ceramics and hydroxyapatite which are predestined materials for biomedical applications, in particular in orthopedic and dental implants, due to their excellent bioactivity and proved biocompatibility. The preparation method and characterization of sol-gel derived BSA-bioactive...

Natural gas is an attractive alternative for conventional fuels due to low price, being naturally abundant and less toxic gas emission. To develope the ANG thechnology, appropriate adsorbents with superior chractarestics and high storage capacities are required for development. Carbonaceous materials due to their appropriate properties have been evaluated for natural gas adsorption. With respect to the unique characteristics of carbon nanotubes, representation of appropriate gas storage properties by ANG method is an interesting projected area. In the first chapter, natural gas adsorption on...
