Application

Boric anhydride also referred to as boron trioxide or boron oxide (B2O3) has been used for preparing specimens of Bi4B2O9 ceramics. It has also been used for WO3/B2O3/Al system for investigating the impact of Ar gas pressure on the SHS reaction products.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Boric anhydride is an oxide of boron that shows antimicrobial property along with lower aminoalcohols.

Quaternary Ag(2)O-CaO-Bi(2)O(3)-B(2)O(3) glasses and glassceramics are investigated with regard to release behaviour and local structure. The dissolution behaviour in water and physiological serum shows that the cations are released rapidly or gradually and points out a multi-step process, generally characterised
