Layer‐by‐layer assembly of antibacterial coating on interbonded 3D fibrous scaffolds and its cytocompatibility assessment

Abstract: Bonded fibrous matrices have shown great potential in tissue engineering because of their unique 3D structures and pore characteristics. For some applications, bacterial infections must be taken into account, and antibacterial function is highly desired. In this study, an antibacterial polymer, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), was applied onto the fiber surface of a bonded poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) fibrous matrix with the objective to achieve both strong antibacterial effect and good cell compatibility.

“…However, the unknown long-term, questionable large- scale applicability, and the complex regulatory pathway still limit this technology. Biodegradable polymers and sol-gel coatings have been shown to provide controlled antibiotic release on titanium 47, 48 or hydroxyapatite implants 49, offering ease of use, versatility, and possible large-scale application. In the present application, the anti-adhesive ability of the DAC hydrogel has been coupled to local antibiotic administration, to reduce the chance for planktonic bacteria to colonize the implant.…”

“…The ability to adjust pore size and porosity through the ratio of fiber and template particle has provided numerous opportunities to develop 3D scaffolds having optimum pore dimension to suit different cell lines. By using a LbL assembly technique, we also prepared an antibacterial coating on the fiber surface of this 3D scaffold and proved the good matrix‐cell compatibility and antibacterial performance . In addition, we also applied apatite onto the fiber surface to improve the osteoblast response of this scaffold …”

“…Biodegradable polymers and sol-gel coatings have also been investigated to provide a controlled antibiotic release on titanium [51,52] or hydroxyapatite implants [53]. However, the most known clinical applications of this approach are probably antibiotic-loaded D-poly-lactate acid/gentamycin intramedullary coated nails that, until now, only showed some positive results in a limited series of patients [17].…”
