so an upward peak is an exothermic transition (bond-forming) and a
trough is an endothermic transition (bond-breaking). The characteristic
glass transition temperature ( T g ) and the melting temperature ( T m )
both decrease with increasing strontium [13]. The crystallisation onset
temperature ( T c ) is an exception, in that it approaches a minimum at
50% strontium substitution (perhaps approaching a metasilicate eutectic
point), then increases again in the Sr-rich glasses.
Magnesium is particularly effective at widening the sintering win-
dow, but also affects bioactivity. Magnesium is typically considered
a network modifier in silicate glasses, but it can partially act as an
