Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioactivity of hydroxyapatite films composed of hexagonal single crystals that display {1010} and {0001} crystallographic faces. The effect of engineered [0001] crystallographic orientation was investigated in parallel. Films were deposited by triethyl phosphate/ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid doubly regulated hydrothermal crystallization on Ti6Al4V substrates (10, 14, 24 h). Bioactivity was investigated by analysis of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast spreading using scanning electron microscopy and quantitative analysis of cell metabolic activity (Alamar Blue) (0-28 days). Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to evaluate the ability of films to support the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts into matrix-secreting, mineralizing osteoblasts. Results demonstrated that all films enabled MC3T3-E1 cells to spread, grow, and differentiate into matrix-secreting osteoblasts, which deposited biomineral that could not be removed after extraction of organic material. Differences in [0001] HA crystallographic orientation were not, however, found to significantly affect bioactivity. Based on these results, it is concluded that these hydrothermal hydroxyapatite films are non-toxic, bioactive, osteoconductive, and biomineral bonding. The lack of a relationship between reported hydroxyapatite crystallographic face specific protein adsorption and bulk HA bioactivity are discussed in terms of crystallographic texture, surface roughness, assay robustness, and competitive protein adsorption.

Apatite nanoparticles are biocompatible nanomaterials, so their film formation on biodevices is expected to provide effective bonding with living organisms. However, the biodevice-apatite interfaces have not yet been elucidated because there is little experimental evaluation and discussion on the nanoscale interactions, as well as the apatite surface reactivities. Our group has demonstrated the biomolecular adsorption properties on a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) sensor coated with apatite nanoparticles, demonstrating the applicability of apatite nanoparticle films on devices.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the most widely studied materials for utilization in the development of artificial implants. Research is mainly aimed at the production and modification of HAp coatings for simplification of the deposition process, cost reduction, and increase in biocompatibility. In this paper, the authors deposited HAp synthetic microparticles by means of matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) on Ti6Al4V alloy plate substrates and obtained uniform HAp coatings without further treatment or modifications.

Gamma irradiation is an effective technique for biocomposite films intended for application in tissue engineering (TE) to ensure sterility and patient safety prior to clinical applications. This study proposed a biocomposite film composed of natural polymer chitosan (CS) and synthetic polymer poly-Ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) reinforced with sol-gel-derived bioactive glass (BG) for potential application in TE. The BG/PCL/CS biocomposite film was sterilized using 25 kGy gamma rays, and subsequent changes in its characteristics were analyzed through mechanical and physical assessment, bioactivity evaluation via immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) and biocompatibility examination using human primary dermal fibroblasts (HPDFs).

High-power applications, particularly in electromagnetic catapults, electric vehicles, and aerospace, necessitate the use of polymer dielectrics that demonstrate reliable performance in high-temperature environments. This study focuses on synthesizing three distinct morphologies of innovative wide-bandgap high-dielectric materials-hydroxyapatite (HAP). By conducting a combination of experiments and Multiphysics finite element simulations, a comprehensive comparison was made regarding the properties exhibited by three polyimide (PI) composites: PI/sea urchin-like HAP, PI/spherical HAP, and PI/rodlike HAP.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is widely used in medical fields for bone repair and implants, and recent studies are focusing on making orthopedic implants more biocompatible with HAP.
  • - The research combines HAP with a lipid matrix to enhance the characteristics of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) implants, utilizing the Langmuir-Blodgett method for effective deposition on PLA surfaces.
  • - Results show that a 5:1 mixture of dihexadecyl phosphate (DHP) and HAP improves the surface properties of PLA, potentially leading to better integration into bone and fewer bacteria adhering to the implants.
