Abstract: The aim of the present study is to synthesize CaO•GeO2 glass nanocomposite powders. The samples are prepared at 1450°C, and to investigate the structure of the samples, differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are used. The main crystallizing phase is found to be CaGe2O5 crystals. Furthermore, the potential antibacterial properties of the materials towards the Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, are preliminarily studied.
