Thermogravimetric analysis of 0SBG and 5SBG powders.

X-ray diffraction patterns of as-prepared and calcined (a) 0SBG and (b) 5SBG powders.

X-ray diffraction patterns of 0–7SBG powder after calcination at 650 °C for 3 h.

BET analysis of (a) 0SBG, (b) 3SBG, (c) 5SBG, and (d) 7SBG powder after calcination at 650 °C for 3 h. The insert in each figure shows the result of pore size analysis.

XRD patterns of (a) 0SBG, (b) 3SBG, (c) 5SBG, and (d) 7SBG powder after immersion in simulated body fluid for 1, 3, and 7 days.

FT-IR spectra of 0-7 SBG powder (a) before and (b) immersion in simulated body fluid for 7 days.

The FTIR deconvolution curves (a) before and (b) after immersion in simulated body fluid for 7 days.

The formation amount of HA calculated from the fitting area of PO43− in FTIR spectra.

SEM images for 0SBG and 5SBG before (a,b) and after (c,d) immersion in simulated body fluid for 7 days, respectively.

Cell viabilities of (a) L929 and (b) MG63 for SBG powders were examined by using CCK-8 assay. *, **, and *** indicate that these two samples were statistically different at a 95%, 99%, and 99.9% confidence intervals, respectively.

Live/dead staining assay of (a) L929 and (b) MG63 cell lines for 0SBG and 5SBG powders.

The average length and a typical image of zebrafish after 72 h post-fertilization. * indicated that these two samples were statistically different at a 95% confidence interval.
