Abstract: 

The relevance of the development of biomedical materials science in the direction of creating biomimetic functional materials is analyzed. Promising directions for the use of glass-ceramic materials for biomedical purposes have been identified, allowing the formation of a dissipative structure that self-organizes into heteronanodomains during a solid-phase reaction. The influence of micro- and macroelements on the formation of bone tissue has been established and their choice in the development of bioactive glass-ceramic materials as cofactors for the self-organization of biological structures based on biomineralization has been substantiated.The compositions of glass-ceramic materials based on the Na2O–K2O–Li2O–CaO–ZrO2– TiO2–MgO–ZnO–Al2O3–B2O3–P2O5–Nb2O5–SiO2 system in the area of metastable liquation have been developed. They are characterized by the ratio of CaO/P2O5 = 1.67–1.7 and SiO2/Li2O = 4 and the total content of modifying components of 1.7–3.5 wt. %. The mechanism of phase formation of the developed glasses during low-temperature rapid heat treatment has been established; it consists in the self-organization of clusters based on sybotaxic groups formed in the glass melt during melting, their ordering into nanostructures and the formation of a sitallized structure. The developed high-strength bioactive glass-ceramic materials contain the main crystalline phases (calcium phosphate, lithium aluminosilicates, lithium disilicate, lithium phosphate, diopside) in the amount of 90–95 vol.%, that simultaneously ensures high bioactivity, strength and the ability to form a crack-resistant structure due to nanostructuring, dendritic reinforcement and the exclusion of thermal effects during synthesis.
