Abstract

Fluorapatite-containing glass ceramics were synthesized on the basis of the glass-forming system SiO2–Al2O3–P2O5–CaO–CaF2. The introduction of phosphorus and fluorine containing materials, as well as the specific regime of heat treatment of the glasses gave glass ceramic materials with crystalline phases of the apatite group—fluorapatite (Ca10(PO4)6F2), apatite (Ca3(PO4)2), vitlokite (Ca9P6O24), etc. The X-ray phase analysis showed that the main phase in all the glass ceramic samples was fluorapatite. The phase composition, structure and some of the basic properties of the glass ceramic samples were determined.
