Ion exchange between the two phases was likely, as sodium silicate (control) was not found to produce calcium phosphate in the absence of bioactive glass. Of the selected compositions, composites with 7.4 vol% sodium silicate binder were observed to possess the highest open porosity (44 vol%), highest rate of calcium phosphate mineralization, most uniform surface mineral distribution, and largest amount of hydroxycarbonate apatite formation. The structure, mechanical properties, and in vitro response of the composite scaffolds analyze
