Apatite-polymer hybrids are expected as novel bone substitutes exhibiting bone-bonding ability and mechanical performances analogous to those of natural bone. In this study, we attempted preparation of organic-inorganic hybrids from different pectins such as pectic acid, apple-derived pectin and citrus-derived pectin through apatite deposition in simulated body fluid (SBF). Pectin gels were prepared by CaCl2 treatment of aqueous solutions of pectin. Apatite-forming ability of the gels was examined in SBF. The citrus-derived pectin showed tendency to form the largest amount of the apatite in SBF.

Tantalum metal was soaked in NaOH and CaCl2 solutions, and then subjected to heat treatment at 500°C. EDX analysis showed that about 6.5 at. % of Na was incorporated into the surface of the tantalum metal by the first NaOH treatment. These Na+ ions were replaced by Ca2+ ions by the subsequent CaCl2 treatment. According to TF-XRD patterns, an amorphous sodium tantalate was seemed to be formed on the tantalum metal by the NaOH treatment and transformed into amorphous calcium tantalate by the CaCl2 treatment. This phase was crystallized into Ca2Ta2O7 by heat treatment. Critical detaching load of the surface of the CaCl2-treated tantalum metal was as low as 5mN, while as high as 42mN after the heat treatment. Apatite-forming ability of the NaOH-treated tantalum metal in a simulated body fluid (SBF) was appreciably increased by the CaCl2 treatment and maintained even after the heat treatment.

Biodegradable polymer has been widely used in surgical suture, dressing, artificial bone and other bone-related applications. Studies have demonstrated that metals, such as titanium, titanium alloys or 316L stainless steel, can be widely used in dental and maxillofacial surgeries. The present study aimed to fabricate a scaffold with a blend of multilayer polylactic acid (PLA) ply yarns with 316L stainless steel (SS) braids, which was then immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF), forming the PLA/SS composite braid with hydroxylapatite deposition. After being immersed in SBF for 14 days, the PLA/SS composite braid was covered with precipitate which was confirmed to be apatite deposition according to surface observation and EDS evaluation.

60CaO-30P2O5-7Na2O-3TiO2 (mol%) glass-ceramic can be strongly joined with a new β-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy. In the present work apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid of the glass-ceramic-coated titanium alloy was enhanced by autoclaving in water at 120°C for 1 h; surface of the autoclaved coating was completely covered with apatite after 10 days of soaking. In vivo tests showed that the glass-ceramic-coated titanium alloy after autoclaving in water makes a strong bond to natural bone.

Organic-inorganic hybrids composed of organic polymer and apatite is quite attractive as novel bone-repairing materials since it has mechanical performance analogous to those of natural bone as well as bone-bonding ability, i.e. bioactivity. To fabricate such an apatite-polymer hybrid, biomimetic process has been recently paid much attention. In this process, bone-like apatite is deposited on the surfaces of organic substrates in simulated body fluid (SBF, Kokubo solution) having ion concentrations analogous to those of human extracellular fluid or more concentrated solutions. Previous studies showed that the apatite deposition is triggered by a catalytic effect of carboxyl groups (COOH) on the surfaces of the organic substrates. In this study, we examined apatite deposition on natural polypeptides derived from crops in a biomimetic solution. We selected gluten derived from wheat and zein derived from corn. Both of gluten and zein formed bone-like apatite on their surfaces in a solution that has inorganic ion concentrations 1.5 times those of simulated body fluid, when they were treated with 1 mol/L calcium chloride solution. High content of acidic amino acids such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid in gluten and zein would give large amount of carboxyl groups effective for the apatite nucleation.

Natural bone is a kind of organic-inorganic hybrid composed of collagen and apatite crystals with a structure that provides specific mechanical properties such as high fracture toughness and flexibility. Materials exhibiting both high flexibility and bioactivity similar to natural bone are required for novel bone-repairing materials in medical fields. We expect that we can design such materials by mimicking the bone structure. Biomimetic process has been paid much attention where bone-like apatite is deposited on organic polymers in simulated body fluid (SBF). In this study, we investigated influence of cross-linking agents on apatite-forming ability of pectin gels. Pectin is a polysaccharide abundant in carboxyl group. Pectin gels were prepared by cross-linking of pectin aqueous solutions with calcium ions or divinylsulfone (DVS). Apatite-forming ability of the gels was examined in SBF. The citrus-derived pectin showed tendency to form the largest amount of the apatite independent on a kind of cross-linking agents in SBF.

Rutile films were deposited on poly-l-lactide (PLLA) substrates using 0.5 M titanium tetrachloride aqueous solution at 40 °C for 72 h. The rutile films exhibited excellent in vitro bioactivity as they induced apatite deposition in a simulated body fluid (SBF) within 3 days. This simple treatment provided an effective route to synthesize bioactive and biodegradable scaffolds.

Bioactive bone cement with mechanical properties higher than that of commercial polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement are strongly desired to be developed. In the present study, PMMA-based cement incorporated with nano-sized rutile particles was prepared. The PMMA-based cement (rutile content was 50 wt%) shows the compressive strength (136 MPa) higher than that of commercial PMMA bone cement (88 MPa). The hardened cement formed apatite on the surface in a simulated body fluid within 3 days. Therefore, this PMMA-based cement incorporated with rutile particles might be useful as cement for fixation of prostheses as well as self-setting bone substitutes, because of its high apatite forming ability and mechanical strength.
