Development of multifunctional polymer–mineral composite materials for bone tissue engineering

Abstract: The main goal of this article is the development of a novel approach to construct multifunctional composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. For this purpose, different kinds of mineral macroporous supports, water-soluble aldehyde-containing copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone, as well as different nonspecific and biospecific ligands governing cell adhesion and growth have been used. The composite materials were tested initially for cytotoxicity in cell culture experiments using a model cell line.

“…The application of the multimaterial approach offers opportunities for combination of functions by processing of different components into a single body structure with the advantage that no new material needs to be synthesized 136, 140, 161–163. Since polymer composites are built up from discrete phases consisting of a polymer matrix with other domains, they are particularly suited for exploitation towards multifunctionality 164, 165. Using the multimaterial approach, new functions such as unique electrical, magnetic properties as well as radio‐opacity and bio‐functionality can be added to SMP by incorporating small amounts of active fillers in the polymer matrix.…”

“…Because of their mechanical load capacity, ceramic materials are widely used for the application in bone tissue engineering. [10][11][12][13] Because ceramics often do not show bioactive properties, the immobilization of bioactive components is an interesting possibility to transform them into biomimetic scaffolds. 14 Special proteins or amino acids are able to promote the adhesion of cells.…”
