Biodegradable Polymers in Bone Tissue Engineering
The use of degradable polymers in medicine largely started around the mid 20 century with their initial use as in vivo resorbing sutures. Thorough knowledge on this topic as been gained since then and the potential applications for these polymers were, and still are, rapidly expanding. After improving the properties of lactic acid-based polymers, these were no longer studied only from a scienti...
متن کاملBiodegradable Polymers for Bone Tissue Engineering
The destruction of bone tissue due to disease (osteonecrosis, tumors, osteoporosis) or inefficient healing posttraumatic injury is a problem affecting the world population. The repair of small defect may be mediated by the osteoblast and osteoclast activity which ensures a balanced control of bone resorption and formation, allowing the bone repair, renewal, and growth. However, when the defect ...
متن کاملTungsten disulfide nanotubes reinforced biodegradable polymers for bone tissue engineering.
In this study, we have investigated the efficacy of inorganic nanotubes as reinforcing agents to improve the mechanical properties of poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) composites as a function of nanomaterial loading concentration (0.01-0.2 wt.%). Tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WSNTs) were used as reinforcing agents in the experimental group. Single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MW...
متن کاملBiodegradable synthetic polymers for tissue engineering.
This paper reviews biodegradable synthetic polymers focusing on their potential in tissue engineering applications. The major classes of polymers are briefly discussed with regard to synthesis, properties and biodegradability, and known degradation modes and products are indicated based on studies reported in the literature. A vast majority of biodegradable polymers studied belongs to the polye...
متن کاملBiodegradable Elastomeric Polymers and MEMS in Tissue Engineering
Within the past decade, researchers in the field of tissue engineering have recognized the need for newmaterials with soft and elastic properties. As a result, many groups have focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of materials with a wide range of biodegradable and elastomeric properties.1 The combination of these polymers with Micro–Electro–Mechanical Systems (MEMS) tech...
