Keywords: Through the traditional approach of the melt-water quenching technique, it is seen that Alumino-Silicate-
Bioglass Fluoride (ASF) bioglass system is assembled. Through the very investigation of this paper, it is noted that pre-
Melt-water quenching paration of ASF bioglass is composed of Clam Shells (CS), Soda Lime Silicate (SLS), CaF2, P2O5, and Al2O3 with

obtained through Energy X-ray (EDX), density (ρ), molar volume (Vm), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) spectroscopy. Such
measured physical parameters like density and molar volume were found to vary linearly with increasing the
CaO content in the bioglass composition. X-ray powder diffractrogram showed that the ASF bioglass samples
with higher amount of CaO content are in amorphous phase, but a small and sharp peak crystal phase was
observed and known as fluorapatite (Ca5(PO4)3F). Meanwhile, FTIR spectroscopy revealed various bonds such as
SieOeSi, PeOeP, CeO and OeH, indicated to the formation of ASF bioglass before sintering occurred. FESEM
analysis showed non-uniform particle distribution, irregular in shape and random grain size of the bioglass.
Although this type of bioglass is well established for dental application, its effect on waste materials such as CS
and SLS for used in dental field has not been extensively studied. Revealed various bonds, stretching and bending
vibrations within the samples before sintering occurred.
