A nano-sandwich construct was built by combining two-dimensional graphene nanosheets (GNSs) and one-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve the mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite-polyetheretherketone (HAP-PEEK) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. In this nano-sandwich construct, the long tubular CNTs penetrated the interlayers of graphene and prevented their aggregation, increasing the effective contact area between the construct and matrix. The combination of GNSs and CNTs in a weight ratio of 2:8 facilitated the dispersion of each other and provided a synergetic effect in enhancing the mechanical properties. The compressive strength and modulus of the scaffolds were increased by 63.58% and 56.54% at this time compared with those of HAP-PEEK scaffolds, respectively. The carbon-based fillers, pulling out and bridging, were also clearly observed in the matrix. Moreover, the dangling of CNTs and their entangling with GNSs further reinforced the mechanical properties. Furthermore, apatite layer formed on the scaffold surface after immersing in simulated body fluid, and the cells attached and spread well on the surface of the scaffolds and displayed good viability, proliferation, and differentiation. These evidence indicate that the HAP-PEEK scaffolds enhanced by GNSs and CNTs are a promising alternative for bone tissue engineering.
通过将二维石墨烯纳米片(GNSs)和一维碳纳米管(CNTs)相结合构建了一种纳米三明治结构,以改善用于骨组织工程的羟基磷灰石-聚醚醚酮(HAP-PEEK)支架的力学性能。在这种纳米三明治结构中,长管状的碳纳米管穿透石墨烯的层间并防止其聚集,增加了该结构与基质之间的有效接触面积。GNSs和CNTs以2:8的重量比组合促进了彼此的分散,并在增强力学性能方面提供了协同效应。此时,支架的抗压强度和模量分别比HAP-PEEK支架提高了63.58%和56.54%。在基质中也清晰观察到碳基填料的拔出和桥接。此外,碳纳米管的悬垂及其与石墨烯纳米片的缠结进一步增强了力学性能。此外,将支架浸入模拟体液后,在其表面形成了磷灰石层,细胞在支架表面附着并良好铺展,显示出良好的活力、增殖和分化能力。这些证据表明,由GNSs和CNTs增强的HAP-PEEK支架是骨组织工程中一种有前景的替代材料。
