在温和条件下采用简单的实验方法成功制备出不同结构和形貌的羟基磷灰石(HAP)纳米粒子。采用沉淀-水解两步法,以PEG和PVP为表面活性剂,在沉淀步骤制备出前驱体CaHPO₄粒子,然后在100℃、常压条件下水解获得高结晶度的HAP纳米棒。采用PEG制备的纳米棒形貌均匀、纵横比高;采用PVP制备的纳米棒尺寸范围较宽且尺寸较小。直接采用一步沉淀法也能够成功制备出HAP纳米粒子。采用PEG制备出麦穗状的纳米粒子;采用PVP制备出尺寸小的纳米棒和纳米粒子混合物。HAP纳米晶的结构和形貌因制备条件不同发生很大变化,故而控制其合成,有望用于生物医药领域。     

Modified-Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Hybrid Composite Interfacial Coating on 3D Polymeric Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Three dimensional (3D) scaffolds have huge limitations due to their low porosity, mechanical strength, and lack of direct cell-bioactive drug contact. Whereas bisphosphonate drug has the ability to stimulate osteogenesis in osteoblasts and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) which attracted its therapeutic use. However it is hard administration low bioavailability, and lack of site-specificity, limiting its usage. The proposed scaffold architecture allows cells to access the bioactive surface at their apex by interacting at the scaffold's interfacial layer. The interface of 3D polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds has been coated with alendronate-modified hydroxyapatite (MALD) enclosed in a chitosan matrix, to mimic the native environment and stupulate the through interaction of cells to bioactive layer. Where the mechanical strength will be provided by the skeleton of PCL. In the MALD composite's hydroxyapatite (HAP) component will govern alendronate (ALD) release behavior, and HAP presence will drive the increase in local calcium ion concentration increases hMSC proliferation and differentiation. In results, MALD show release of 86.28 ± 0.22. XPS and SEM investigation of the scaffold structure, shows inspiring particle deposition with chitosan over the interface. All scaffolds enhanced cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteocyte differentiation for over a week without in vitro cell toxicity with 3.03 ± 0.2 kPa mechanical strength.

Synthesis and evaluation of new dental monomers with both phosphonic and carboxylic acid functional groups

Novel dental monomers containing both phosphonic and carboxylic acid functional groups were prepared. The monomers were based on t‐butyl α‐bromomethacrylate (t‐BuBMA) and synthesized in three steps: The reaction of o‐hydroxyaryl phosphonates [diethyl (2‐hydroxyphenyl) phosphonate, tetraethyl (2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐phenylene) diphosphonate and tetraethyl 5,5′‐(propane‐2,2‐diyl)bis(2‐hydroxy‐5,1‐ phenylene) diphosphonate] with t‐BuBMA, the hydrolysis of phosphonate groups to phosphonic acid using trimethyl silylbromide, and the hydrolysis of the t‐butyl groups to carboxylic acid with trifluoroacetic acid. The monomers were solids and soluble in water and ethanol. The structures of the monomers were determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The copolymerization behaviors of the synthesized monomers with glycerol dimethacrylate were first investigated in bulk using photodifferential scanning calorimetry at 40 °C with 2,2′‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenyl acetophenone as photoinitiator. Then, the solution copolymerization of the monomers with acrylamide in ethanol and water was studied, indicating that the synthesized monomers are incorporated into the copolymers. The acidic nature of the aqueous solutions of these monomers (pH values 1.72–1.87) is expected to give them etching properties important for dental applications. The interaction of the monomers with hydroxyapatite was investigated using ¹³C NMR and FTIR techniques. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 1953–1965, 2009     

Preparation and characterization of calcium hydroxyapatite and balloon-like calcium phosphate particles from forced hydrolysis of Ca(OH)2–triphosphate solution

Calcium phosphate particles were prepared by aging a solution of dissolved Ca(OH)₂ and sodium triphosphate (sodium tripolyphosphate, Natpp: Na₅P₃O₁₀) at 100–150 °C for 18 h in a Teflon-lined screw-capped Pyrex test tube. Large spherical and/or small aggregated spherical particles were precipitated with an extremely fast rate of reaction under 100 °C. The large spherical particles were amorphous and the small aggregated ones were α-CaNa₂P₂O₇^.4H₂O. The former amorphous ones crystallized to β-Ca₂P₂O₇ after being calcined above 600 °C. Calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, Hap), with rod-like and ellipsoidal or spherical aggregated shapes, was successfully produced using polyphosphates as a source of orthophosphate ions. Time resolved TEM measurement revealed that the crystallization of Hap particles takes place on the surface of tiny amorphous particles precipitated before aging. The tiny particles played the role of nuclei for Hap crystallization. The aging temperature drastically varied the particle shape under conditions for producing uniform amorphous spherical particles; solid spherical particles were produced with an aging temperature of up to 120 °C, whilst transparent balloon-like hollow spheres were precipitated at 125 °C. Finally, fully transparent balloon-like hollow spheres were produced with mere trace amounts of small rod-like particles after aging the solution above 127 °C. The time resolved TEM observation and ICP-AES measurements revealed that the balloon-like hollow spheres were produced by dissolving the interior of solid spherical particles after reinforcing their shell by the adsorption of unhydrolyzed tpp and/or pyrophosphate (pp) ions, which are the hydrolysis product of tpp. The balloon-like hollow spheres of calcium phosphate may have the potential use as drug delivery vehicles and have biocompatibility advantages.     

The Surface Modification of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles by the Ring Opening Polymerization of γ‐Benzyl‐L‐glutamate N‐carboxyanhydride

The surface modification of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles by the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate N‐carboxyanhydride (BLG‐NCA) was proposed to prepare the poly(γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate) (PBLG)‐grafted HA nanoparticles (PBLG‐g‐HA) for the first time. HA nanoparticles were firstly treated by 3‐aminopropylthriethoxysilane (APS) and then the terminal amino groups of the modified HA particles initiated the ROP of BLG‐NCA to obtain PBLG‐g‐HA. The process was monitored by XPS and FT‐IR. The surface grafting amounts of PBLG on HA ranging from 12.1 to 43.1% were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the ROP only underwent on the surface of HA nanoparticles without changing its bulk properties. The SEM measurement showed that the PBLG‐g‐HA hybrid could form an interpenetrating net structure in the self‐assembly process. The PBLG‐g‐HA hybrid could maintain higher colloid stability than the pure HA nanoparticles. The in vitro cell cultures suggested the cell adhesion ability of PBLG‐g‐HA was much higher than that of pure HA.

Preparation and characterization of polyoxymethylene‐copolymer/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites for long‐term bone implants

In this work, new polyoxymethylene (POM)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposites for long‐term bone implants have been obtained via extrusion and injection molding processes and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature‐modulated DSC (TMDSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG), and tensile mechanical and in vitro stability tests. Based on the DSC results, it was found that the degree of crystallinity increases for POM/0.5% HAp sample and decreases for POM/1.0% HAp and POM/2.5% HAp. SEM and TEM observations for POM/HAp nanocomposites indicated that the dispersion of HAp in the polymer matrix was uniform and the diameter of the HAp particles was less than 100 nm for most of them. Young's modulus increases with increasing HAp concentration, whereby elongation at break decreases. On the contrary, HAp concentration does not have a significant influence on the tensile strength. TG results show that for POM/0.5% HAp, POM/1.0% HAp, and POM/2.5% HAp, thermal stability slightly increases in comparison to pure POM, whereas for POM/5.0 HAp and POM/10.0% HAp, lower thermal stability was observed. In vitro data reveal that with an increase of HAp content, bioactivity of nanocomposites increases; a good in vitro chemical stability of POM and POM nanocomposites was confirmed.
