Keynote Speech
Bioglass Used in Human Body

Prof Wen-hai HUANG is a professor of materials science and engineering and the director of the Institute of BioEngineering & IT Materials. He is the member of Science Committee of Special Glass, Chinese Ceramic Society, and the member of editorial board of several journals, including Functional Materials, Journal of Building Materials and Glass and Enamel. He is a retired research professor from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA. In the past 20 years, he has published more than 200 peered technical papers and held 12 patents.

Prof HUANG is active in glass science research. During work in USA and Tongji University, he was engaged with nucleation and crystallization theory in glass and glass-ceramic field, and with non-linear optical property of glass made through container-less process, simulated to the microgravity condition at out-space. Recently, he is engaged with several kinds of biomaterials in inorganic materials field, such as radio-therapeutic glass microspheres, bone cement based on silica-phosphate glass, drug-bearing hollow glass microspheres and bioactive glass scaffold used in bone tissue engineering.
