Abstract
This study aims to investigate the solubility of composites comprised of a degradable polymeric hydrogel and particles of a Ga-containing glass series, and relate this solubility information to the viability of MC-3T3 osteoblasts. Composites released a maximum of 4.7 mg/L of Ga after 30 days, and these extracts did not inhibit osteoblast viability.
