The microstructural and mechanical properties of composites composed of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) have been investigated. The composites were formed by hydyolysis of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) to CDHAp in pressed precomposite compacts of alpha-TCP-PLGA-NaCl. The differences in hydrolysis of alpha-TCP-PLGA-NaCl for two compositions of 80:10:10 wt % and 60:20:20 wt %. were monitored by isothermal calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The microstructural evolution and variance in final composite microstructure after hydrolysis at 37 degrees C, 45 degrees C, and 56 degrees C were examined by scanning electron microscopy. HAp-PLGA composite formed from the alpha-TCP-PLGA-NaCl (80:10:10) precomposites at 37 degrees C developed a tensile strength of 13.3 +/- 0.9 MPa, a flexural strength of 24.8 +/- 1.7 MPa, and Young's modulus of 2.8 +/- 0.3 GPa. These values were 12.00 +/- 0.2 MPa, 36.1 +/- 2.1 MPa, and 5.5 +/- 0.8 GPa for the precomposite composition 60:20:20. All these mechanical properties showed a variation with hydrolysis temperature and composition. The differences in mechanical properties were related to the final microstructures of the composites, which are governed by the morphological changes in the polymer structure at its glass transition temperature and the extent of cement-type formation of CDHAp by hydrolysis of alpha-TCP.

Calcium Phosphate Mineralization on Calcium Carbonate Particle Incorporated Silk-Fibroin Composites Kapusuz, Derya; Ercan, Batur (2019-09-01) In this study, three anhydrous forms of calcium carbonate, namely vaterite, aragonite and calcite, with distinct morphologies were incorporated inside silk-fibroin to fabricate composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. To assess calcium phosphate mineralization, composite scaffolds were treated with simulated body fluid up to one month. It was observed that composite scaffolds having different calcium carbonate polymorphs expressed different mineralization. Incorporating 25 wt. % of vaterite ...
Low temperature formation of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite-PLA/PLGA composites Durucan, Caner (2000-09-15) Hydroxyapatite-biodegradable polymer composites have been formed by a low temperature chemical route. Precomposite structures were prepared by combining alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2) (alpha-tricalcium phosphate or alpha-TCP) with poly(L-lactic) acid and poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers. The final composite structure was achieved by in situ hydrolysis of alpha-TCP to Ca-9(HPO4)(PO4)(5)OH (calcium deficient hydroxyapatite or CDHAp) either in solvent cast or pressed precomposites. Hydrolysis was performed at 56 d...
Mechanical properties of plasma surface-modified calcium carbonate-polypropylene composites Akovali, G; Akman, MA (Wiley, 1997-02-01) Calcium carbonate was surface-modified by plasma-polymerized acetylene and the effect of surface modification on the mechanical properties of calcium carbonate-polypropylene composites was investigated. Two different plasma polymerization conditions were selected and applied. Chemical structures of plasma-polymerized acetylene products were identified. Mechanical and thermal properties of the composites prepared were evaluated and the effects of surface modification on the extent of adhesion of filler to th...
Production of epoxide functionalized boehmite nanoparticles and their use in epoxide nanocomposites Coniku, Anisa; Gündüz, Güngör; Maviş, Bora; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) In the present study the effects of addition of organically functionalized boehmite nano-particles on the mechanical properties of epoxy polymers were analyzed. Nanosize platelets of boehmite powders were produced via a hydrothermal process from the raw material aluminum trihydroxide Al(OH)3 provided by a a chemical supplier, but which in future studies can be replaced by local resources of aluminum trihydroxide available in Seydişehir, Turkey. The ground aluminum trihydroxide particles were submitted to a ...
Bone tissue generation on biodegradable polymeric scaffolds Torun Köse, Gamze; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Biotechnology (2002) In the present study, tissue engineered bone was produced on calcium phosphate loaded collagen and PHBV8 matrices. Osteoblasts isolated from rat bone marrow were characterized by light microscopy, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin determination assay, and Western blots for integrin. Population doubling time of the cells was found as 50 ± 2 h at 37 °C in a CO2 incubator. PHBV8 foams iiiwere treated with rf-oxygen plasma to modify their surface chemistry and hydrophilicity to increase the reatt...
