Inspired by natural bones, many organic components were added to Calcium Phosphate Cements (CPCs) to improve their mechanical strength. However, the strength of these composite CPCs is limited by the low strength of organic components itself and the weak interaction between organic components and CPCs.
Firstly, a composite CPC containing mussel-inspired adhesive, Poly-(Dopamine Methacrylamide-co-2-methoxy Ethylacrylate) (pDM) was developed. Secondly, the interactions between pDM and CPC and their effect on mechanical properties were investigated.
The interactions between pDM and CPC were performed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Laser Raman, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction Analysis.
The toughness and compressive strength of pDM-CPC scaffold were both significantly enhanced, because of the enhanced interface binding strength among CPC and pDM due to their interaction and the improved mechanical strength of pDM owing to its self-oxidation cross-linking. The toughness of pDM-CPC scaffolds increased with the increased contents of pDM, while pDM-CPC scaffold containing 35 wt.% pDM had the highest compressive strength of all, which the latter was more than five times compared to that of CPC.
The mechanically strong pDM-CPC scaffolds has potential application in bone regeneration as well as in craniofacial and orthopedic repair.
受天然骨骼启发,许多有机成分被添加到磷酸钙骨水泥(CPCs)中以提高其机械强度。然而,这些复合磷酸钙骨水泥的强度受到有机成分本身强度较低以及有机成分与磷酸钙骨水泥之间弱相互作用的限制。
首先,制备一种含有受贻贝启发的粘合剂聚(多巴胺甲基丙烯酰胺-co-2-甲氧基丙烯酸乙酯)(pDM)的复合磷酸钙骨水泥。其次,研究pDM与磷酸钙骨水泥之间的相互作用及其对机械性能的影响。
通过核磁共振、激光拉曼光谱、X射线光电子能谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱和X射线衍射分析来研究pDM与磷酸钙骨水泥之间的相互作用。
pDM-CPC支架的韧性和抗压强度均显著提高,这是由于pDM与磷酸钙骨水泥之间的相互作用增强了它们之间的界面结合强度,以及pDM通过自身氧化交联提高了机械强度。pDM-CPC支架的韧性随着pDM含量的增加而增加,而含有35 wt.% pDM的pDM-CPC支架具有最高的抗压强度,后者是磷酸钙骨水泥抗压强度的五倍多。
机械性能强的pDM-CPC支架在骨再生以及颅面和骨科修复方面具有潜在应用价值。
