Biomimetic Substrate/Approaches for biomineralization and osseointegration/osteogenesis

Key information

Reference

1

Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) and its composites

â–ª Electrostatic interaction of the HAP surface with the calcium and the phosphate ions

[105]

2

Bioglass and Bioglass-calcium phosphate composites

â–ª Carbonate apatite layer formation

â–ª Good osteointegration both in vitro and in vivo

[124–126]

3

U HMWPE, Biodegradable starch/ethylene

vinyl alcohol blend, PU foams

â–ª Formation of continuous and adherent Ca-P

â–ª layer on the surface

â–ª Needle-like crystals formed cauliflower like morphology

[110]

4

Surface functionalization by phosphorylation

â–ª Bamboo [117]

â–ª Chitosan [118]

â–ª Poly (HEMA-co-MMA) [119]

â–ª PVA [121]

â–ª Regenerated Cellulose [122]

â–ª increased number of nuclear sites and apatite formation

â–ª Nucleation and porous HAP coating

â–ª Direct bone bonding and elicited new bone formation

â–ª promotes in vitro biomineralization and in vitro cell adhesion

â–ª Increased surface roughness and leads to better binding of Calcium ions

[117]

[118]

[119]

[121]

[122]

5

â–ª Surface modification Polyethersulphone

â–ª PMMA (ATP coupling) Electrospun PCL - gelatin

â–ª Promotes nucleation and growth of calcium phosphate

▪ Uniform apatite layer formation upto 20 μm thickness

[111, 112]

[120]
