Purpose: To report histopathological findings for different types of polymers proposed as support for a Pintucci-type keratoprosthesis.
Methods: Six polymers, including three types of polyesters ( 1-3), one type of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, 4), polyethylene ( 5), and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE, 6) were evaluated. Four samples of each material were placed under the orbicularis oculi muscles of 12 rabbits.
Surfactant-assisted synthesis of polyvinylpyrrolidone-hydroxyapatite composites as a bone filler.

Background: Different methods have been used to prepare bone-like composites from inorganic nanoparticles embedded in polymeric matrixes to obtain the properties and structures required for bone fillers.
Methods: Bone-like nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) was synthesized using a biomimetic method, with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as template and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant.
Results: The results demonstrated the formation of HA composites and showed that polymer and surfactant as the polymer capsule can be properly used to control the size, shape, morphology and dispersion of HA crystals.
