Natural bone is formed by a complex composite, essentially constituted of biological apatite and fibers of collagen. The combination of materials such as biopolymers and bioceramics may result in an interesting material for application in bone tissue regeneration. This work aims to obtain polymeric fibers containing Poly (Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) and Poly (Isoprene), supplemented with hydroxyapatite (HA) and α-tricalcium phosphate (TCP). The thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of the fibers were evaluated . Even presenting a larger diameter, fibers with α-TCP presented lower elastic modulus than fibers with HA. Both fibers presented similar thermal behavior, with glass transition temperature in the same range that the one presented by raw PLGA and similar degradation temperatures. Is safe to say that the presence of ceramics in the fibers have a potential for further investigations aiming bone tissue regeneration.

Background:Recent advances in developing biocompatible materials for treating bone loss or defects have dramatically changed clinicians’ reconstructive armory. Current clinically available reconstructive options have certain advantages, but also several drawbacks that prevent them from gaining universal acceptance. A wide range of synthetic and natural biomaterials is being used to develop tissue-engineered bone. Many of these materials are currently in the clinical trial stage.Methods:A selective literature review was performed for carbon nanostructure composites in bone tissue engineering.Results:Incorporation of carbon nanostructures significantly improves the mechanical properties of various biomaterials to mimic that of natural bone. Recently, carbon-modified biomaterials for bone tissue engineering have been extensively investigated to potentially revolutionize biomaterials for bone regeneration.Conclusion:This review summarizes the chemical and biophysical properties of carbon nanostructures and discusses their functionality in bone tissue regeneration.
