                         samples previously treated or not with sodium silicate (SS)

                         and confocal Raman spectroscopy. Cell viability was evaluated by

                         EDX, highlighted the generation of an apatite-like layer on the 
                         compositions' surface after immersion in SBF or SBF/SS. CAC-blend 
                         containing 25 wt% ZnO, ZnO-Ag and ZnO-Bi2O3 presented slightly
