Cotton-wool-like bioresorbable bone void fillers consisting of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), siloxane-containing vaterite (SiV) and poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was prepared by an electrospinning method. The fibers, which were 50 ~ 150 μm-width with 10 ~ 30 μm-thickness, were entwined. The resulting cotton-wool-like material showed mechanical flexibility and excellent shapability; it showed easy, excellent mechanical-fixation in defects. The in vivo performance of this material was examined in the distal femur in New Zealand white rabbits. It was evaluated using micro CT and histologic analyses at time points of 6 and 12 weeks. These analyses of the defect sites verified normal healing response and new bone formation. The in vivo testing with rabbits showed good biocompatibility and excellent osteogenic ability.

HAp-nanoparticle-coated biodegradable polymer microspheres loaded with magnetic Fe3O4 particles can be successfully prepared by evaporating volatile oil (dichloromethane) from HAp-nanoparticle-stabilized oil droplets containing biodegradable polymer and Fe3O4 particles without any molecular surfactants or polymeric stabilizers. In this study it was found that the hydrophobic surface modification for the Fe3O4 particles was a key factor to prepare stable HAp-nanoparticle-stabilized oil droplets (and HAp-nanoparticle-coated polymer microspheres) loaded with magnetic Fe3O4 particles.
