Poly-L-lactide/β-tricalcium phosphate (PLLA/β-TCP) porous scaffold fabricated by freeze shrinking/particulate leaching was studied. The scaffold was immersed into simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and analyzed by the SEM, XRD and FT-IR spectroscopy. The ability of inducing Ca-P formation was compared among the scaffolds with different content of β- TCP. SEM shows a typical feature of apatite precipitation. Diffraction peak of new crystal structure was detected by x-ray diffraction (XRD). IR Spectrum in which absorption bands arise from newly formed groups of carbonate apatite can be seen. At the same testing point, higher density of Ca-P crystal can be observed by SEM in scaffold with high content of β-TCP than in low group. Until 3 weeks, Ca-P individual crystal started on the wall of inner pore of pure PLLA. Porous PLLA/β-TCP composite scaffolds also indicate good ability of Ca-P formation in vitro, the ability of which to form apatite was enhanced by addition of each other that has different degradable mechanism.

The ability of apatite to form on the surface of biomaterials in simulated body fluid (SBF) has been widely used to predict the bone-bonding ability of bioceramic and bioceramic/polymer composites in vivo. Porous β-tricalcium phosphate/poly(L-lactic acid) (β-TCP/PLLA) composite scaffold was synthesized by new method. The ability of inducing calcium phosphate (Ca-P) formation was compared in static simulated body fluid(sSBF) and dynamic simulated body fluid (dSBF). The Ca-P morphology and crystal structures were identified using SEM, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that the typical features of bone-like apatite formation on the surface and the inner pore wall of β-TCP/PLLA. Ca-P formation on scaffold surfaces in dSBF occurred slower than in sSBF and was more difficult with increasing flow rate of dSBF. The ability of apatite to form on β-TCP/PLLA was enhanced by effect of each other that has different degradable mechanism. Porous β-TCP/PLLA composite scaffold indicates good ability of Ca-P formation in vitro.

Vitro Test

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were deposited onto Ti6Al4V substrate by microplasma spraying (MPS) in the current research. The morphology, phase compositions, and percentage of crystallinity of the coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. An in vitro evaluation by soaking the coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 14 days was conducted aiming at the evaluation of their bioactivity. Results from the present investigation suggest that microplasma sprayed HA coatings exhibited certain roughness, pores, and microcracks. Thermal decomposition existed in the coatings where HA, α-TCP，β-TCP, amorphous phases, and CaO-exclusive impurities were observed. The in vitro test indicated that HA coatings deposited by MPS possessed better bioactivity and stability. A layer of carbonate-apatite covered most of the coating surface, which did not exhibit significant spalling after incubation in SBF.

Porous tricalcium phosphate ceramics were immersed in static and dynamic revised simulated body fluid (RSBF) at 37°C. Morphology, composition and phase of precipitates on TCP were identified by SEM, FTIR and TEM methods. FTIR and TEM results indicated the deposits on the inner pore walls of TCP were OCP, and SEM results implied that the deposited way of precipitates in static system was different from that in dynamic system.

Both natural and synthetic materials have been utilized to provide three dimensional scaffold environments ideal for bone repair. The biomechanical and biocompatibility characteristics of these scaffolds play a vital role in successful tissue engineering constructs. Polymer/carbonate apatite (CHA) composites have shown to improve cell adhesion and proliferation on the scaffold as well as increase elastic modulus, toughness and strength. The aim of this study is to prepare CHA- polylactic-co-glycolide (PLGA) composites in the form of microsphere, scaffold and disc and evaluate their physico-chemical properties, mechanical properties and in vitro bioactivity. 3-D porous cylindrical composite scaffolds were prepared using PLGA/CHA composites with varying PLGA/CHA ratios (30:70 and 50:50). The CHA was prepared by hydrolysis method and characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), micro-computed tomography (μCT), XRD, FTIR, and thermogravimetry (TGA). Flexural strength was determined using Instron. In vitro bioactivity was determined by the formation of apatite on composite disc surfaces after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). SEM and μCT analyses showed high porosity and interconnectivity between microspheres in the composite scaffolds. In vitro bioactivity was observed by the development of an apatite layer on the surfaces of the composite scaffolds after immersion in simulated body fluid. The mechanical strength of the scaffolds was to be dependent on the PLGA-CHA ratio. The elastic modulus, toughness and strength values obtained for the composites were similar to those of reported bone substituted materials. Results from this study provided information on the fabrication of PLGA-CHA scaffolds and their properties that may be useful for their potential application in bone repair and as scaffolds in tissue engineering for bone regeneration.

Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate

A modified one-step process was used to prepare tetracalcium phosphate/monetite/calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder cement mixtures (CAS). The procedure allowed the formation of monetite and calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) in the form of nanoparticles. It was hypothesized that the presence of nanoCSH in small amounts enhances the in vitro bioactivity of CAS cement in relation to osteogenic gene markers in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The CAS powder mixtures with 15 and 5 wt.% CSH were prepared by milling powder tetracalcium phosphate in an ethanolic solution of both orthophosphoric and sulfuric acids. The CAS cements had short setting times (around 5 min). The fast setting of the cement samples after the addition of the liquid component (water solution of NaH2PO4) was due to the partial formation of calcium sulfate dihydrate and hydroxyapatite before soaking in SBF with a small change in the original phase composition in cement powder samples after milling. Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite biocement was produced by soaking of cement samples after setting in simulated body fluid (SBF). The fast release of calcium ions from CAS5 cement, as well as a small rise in the pH of SBF during soaking, were demonstrated. After soaking in SBF for 7 days, the final product of the cement transformation was nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite. The compressive strength of the cement samples (up to 30 MPa) after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) was comparable to that of bone. Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed statistically significant higher gene expressions of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteonectin (ON) and osteopontin (OP) in cells cultured for 14 days in CAS5 extract compared to CSH-free cement. The addition of a small amount of nanoCSH (5 wt.%) to the tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP)/monetite cement mixture significantly promoted the over expression of osteogenic markers in MSCs. The prepared CAS powder mixture with its enhanced bioactivity can be used for bone defect treatment and has good potential for bone healing.

In this work, ZK60 magnesium alloy was employed as a substrate material to produce ceramic coatings, containing Ca and P, by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was used to prepare the hydroxyapatite layer (HA) on the MAO coating to obtain a composite coating for better biological activity. The coatings were examined by various means including an X-ray diffractometer, a scanning electron microscope and an energy spectrometer. Meanwhile, an electrochemical examination, immersion test and tensile test were used to evaluate the in vitro performance of the composite coatings. The results showed that the composite coating has a better corrosion resistance. In addition, this work proposed a degradation model of the composite coating in the simulated body fluid immersion test. This model explains the degradation process of the MAO/APS coating in SBF.
