<i>In Vitro</i> Degradation of β-Tricalcium Phosphate Reinforced Poly(L-Lactic Acid)

Abstract: Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and composite of PLLA with osteoconductiveβ-tricalcium phosphate fine powder (PLLA/TCP) compression moulded specimens were subjected toin vitrobiodegradation up one year. Samples were investigated in terms of physical-chemical evaluation after several periods of incubationin simulated body fluid solution. Reduction in PLLA molecular weights occurred during thermal processing of compounding of the polymer with TCP. 3-point bending measurements revealed some decay in the flexural stre… Show more

“…However, this is not always the case. Namely, studies are available, in which the presence of CaPO 4 did not have an effect on the degradation rate of the polymer matrix [ 1105 , 1106 , 1107 ]. Therefore, to simplify the task, biodegradation of the individual components should be considered independently.…”

“…According to various studies made on animal models, PEEK implants demonstrate good compatibility with the tissue, without any sign of necrosis. These studies demonstrate the biological properties of PEEK because at the interface between the PEEK implants and surrounding tissues didn't appear the sign of foreign body response, and the possibility of bacterial colonization is limited [39,40].…”

“…This is not always the case, though. Namely, there have been studies showing that the presence of CaPO 4 does not affect the degradation rate of polymer matrices [1252][1253][1254]. Therefore, to simplify the learning, the biodegradation of individual components needs to be considered independently.…”
