RESUMO
The elastic properties and structure of four potential bioactive compounds in the CaSiO3-Na2SiO3 system were characterized by Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy at ambient conditions. The increase of Na2O content in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 glass with the same silica content and hence polymerization was found to lower the elastic moduli with accompanied decrease of Q(0) and Q(2) species, increase of Q(1) species and negligible change of Q(3) species, corresponding to a lower and higher equilibrium constant for the disproportional reactions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (without balance), respectively. The composition-dependent variation in the shear modulus (G) of the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 glass can be attributed to the concentration change of Q(2) and probably Q(4) species; while bulk modulus (K) ascribed to the cohesion factor. The elastic moduli of the corresponding crystalline phases in this system also lower with the increase of Na2O content following two general criteria as a function of Na2O/CaO molar ratio: (1) K decreases faster than G for both the amorphous and crystalline phases and (2) both K and G decreases faster for the crystals than the glasses.

The evolution of elastic properties and structure upon the change of CaO/P(2)O(5) ratio in SiO(2)-CaO-Na(2)O-P(2)O(5) glasses (45S5-derived and 55S4-derived) at ambient conditions has been studied by using both Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy coupled with X-ray diffraction. Under the same SiO(2)/Na(2)O ratio, it is found that a decrease in CaO/P(2)O(5) molar ratio has caused a more-polymerized silicate network via a net consumption of Q(0), Q(1), and Q(2) species yet enriching in Q(3) and Q(4) species. Brillouin experiments revealed that all the bulk, shear and Young's moduli of the glasses studied increases with the increase of CaO/P(2)O(5) molar ratio. The unexpected variation trend in shear modulus can be correlated to the contribution from cohesion, the less-polymerized phosphate Q species, and density. Compared to the 45S5-derived, the more-polymerized 55S4-deived glass has a lower bulk but slightly higher shear modulus at the given CaO/P(2)O(5) ratio.
