Bone tissue support materials have biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioactivity that are made of various ceramics, polymers
or both of ceramics and polymers which are called composites. The most interesting of them are bioactive glasses due to their
excellent features. Bioactive glasses are osteoconductive and osteoinductive materials and when they are implanted on bone, they
connect to the bone tissue. They are generally used in order to fill bone defect and promote new bone formation because of their
osteogenic cell stimulator and bioactive properties. In recent years, bioactive glass materials which are used as bone in the form of
block, granules, injectable or paste has increased significantly. These forms which are called support materials make patient healing
and surgical operation easier. In this study, injectable bone tissue support materials based on bioactive glass-polymer composites
were produced for bone tissue engineering applications. At different ratios of bioactive glass and alginate composites were prepared
such as 1:1, 1:2 g/ml, respectively. All samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD) analysis before simulated body fluid (SBF) to understand structure of composites and after SBF to understand
bioactivity properties of composites.
