Increased demand for advanced biomaterials in tissue engineering has driven research to develop innovative solutions based on smart material combinations. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have emerged as attractive materials because of their angiogenic and regenerative properties. This study explores the incorporation of boron-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (B-MBGNs) into poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(propylene succinate--glycerol succinate) (PPSG) fibers to enhance their biodegradation and bioactivity. B-MBGNs were synthesized via a microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method and characterized through morphology, pore size distribution, composition, and surface area. PCL/PPSG nanofibers were fabricated using an alternative combination of solvents, formic acid, and acetic acid. B-MBGNs were incorporated into PCL/PPSG solutions at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 wt % and electrospun into nanofiber mats under a flow rate of 0.2 mL/h at 22 °C and 40% relative humidity, while the voltage applied at the needle tip was 18 kV and -2 kV at the rotating drum. The addition of 10 wt % of B-MBGNs resulted in nanofibers that exhibited a high degradation rate in PBS with a weight loss of 44% in 30 days, significant hydrophilicity with a contact angle of 33°, and improvements in cell viability tested with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF). In addition, the study highlights the effect of the concentration of B-MBGNs on the morphology of the fibers, which can agglomerate and form undesired beads. Although the particles improved cellular activity, the changes in morphology caused tension points that reduced the elasticity of the fibers. Overall, this work contributes to the innovative use of green polyesters combined with boron ions in electrospun fibrous scaffolds, expanding the opportunities for applications in tissue regeneration, for example, to treat chronic wounds in diabetic patients.
组织工程中对先进生物材料的需求不断增加,推动了基于智能材料组合开发创新解决方案的研究。介孔生物活性玻璃纳米颗粒(MBGNs)因其血管生成和再生特性而成为有吸引力的材料。本研究探索将硼掺杂介孔生物活性玻璃纳米颗粒(B-MBGNs)掺入聚(ε-己内酯)(PCL)和聚(琥珀酸丙酯-琥珀酸甘油酯)(PPSG)纤维中,以提高其生物降解性和生物活性。通过微乳液辅助溶胶-凝胶法合成了B-MBGNs,并通过形态、孔径分布、组成和表面积对其进行了表征。使用甲酸和乙酸的替代溶剂组合制备了PCL/PPSG纳米纤维。将B-MBGNs以5、10和15 wt%的浓度掺入PCL/PPSG溶液中,并在22℃和40%相对湿度下以0.2 mL/h的流速进行静电纺丝制成纳米纤维垫,同时在针尖施加的电压为18 kV,在转鼓上为-2 kV。添加10 wt%的B-MBGNs得到的纳米纤维在PBS中表现出高降解率,30天内重量损失44%,具有显著的亲水性,接触角为33°,并且用人正常皮肤成纤维细胞(NHDF)测试时细胞活力有所提高。此外,该研究强调了B-MBGNs浓度对纤维形态的影响,其可能会团聚并形成不需要的珠子。尽管颗粒改善了细胞活性,但形态变化导致了张力点,降低了纤维的弹性。总体而言,这项工作有助于在静电纺丝纤维支架中创新性地使用绿色聚酯与硼离子相结合,扩大了在组织再生中的应用机会,例如用于治疗糖尿病患者的慢性伤口。
