♦Novel gallium-doped phosphate based glasses(PBGs) were prepared using conventional melt quenching method ♦Both density and glass transition temperature (Tg) was found to increase as the Ga content increased in the glass system ♦Degradation rate of glasses in water found to decrease with the increase of Ga content. pH was found to maintain at neutral for 3 and 5 mol% Ga doped PBGs but showed initial increase for 0 and 1 mol% Ga doped PBGs ♦Calcium and sodium ion release from the glasses were analysed using IC ♦Gallium and phosphorous release from the glasses were analysed using ICP-MS ♦Antimicrobial activity of these glasses against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were tested by disc diffusion assay ♦The antibacterial effect was found to decrease as the Ga content increased in the glass system, with

Ca16Na38P45Ga1 showing maximum bactericidal effect against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus

Structural Characterisation

Differentiated two Ca-O bond lengths, a shorter distance of ~2.34 Å has a coordination of ~5.4 and a longer distance of ~2.80 Å has a coordination of ~1.4. The total Ca-O coordination is ~6.8. This coordination relates to the crystal structure of a capped trigonal prism. Onb coordination with Ca is ~1.7, therefore for every Onb that is only bonded to one Ca there are eight that are bonded to two Ca . From the correlation distance an O-Ca-O bond angle between 72° and 89° is calculated which indicates a distorted octahedral structure – close to the capped trigonal prism indicated.
