Segmented polyurethane(SPU)s are block polymers which have a good elastic property and thermoplasticity. However, the biocompatibility of SPU is not sufficient, and a living organism rejects the SPU as a foreign material. Thus, some modification is needed to provide excellent biocompatibility and retain the good physical characteristics of the SPUs. In this study, we blended the 2methacryloylox...

Background: Improvements in the biocompatibility of dialysis membranes have reduced biological responses elicited by blood–membrane interactions. In this article, recent technological developments in dialysis membranes with regard to biocompatibility and recent progress in the evaluation of the biocompatibility of dialysis membranes are reviewed. Summary: The focus of investigation into dialysi...

the purpose of this paper was to review the commercially available periodontal dressings, their physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility and therapeutic effects. electronic search of scientific papers from 1956 to 2012 was carried out using pubmed, scopus and wiley interscience search engines using the searched terms periodontal dressing, periodontal pack. numerous in vitro and in viv...

background and aims. incorporation of nano-particles to orthodontic bonding systems has been considered to prevent enamel demineralization around appliances. this study investigated cytotoxicity of transbond xt adhesive containing 1 wt% titanium dioxide (tio2) nano-particles. materials and methods. ten composite disks were prepared from each of the conventional and tio2-containg composites and ...

background and aims. biocompatibility of root-end filling materials is a matter of debate. the aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of a variety of commercial proroot wmta cements and a resin-based cement (geristore®) with different ph values of setting reaction and different aluminum contents, implanted into the subcutaneous connective tissue of rats at various time intervals....

in this work, new biodegradable abcba type pentablock copolymers with different mole ratio of l-lactide and ppdo-b-peg-b-ppdo triblock copolymer were synthesized and characterized. in the first step, ppdo-b-peg-b-ppdo triblock copolymer was synthesized via a ring-opening polymerization of p-dioxanone (pdo) monomer with poly (ethylene glycol) (peg) using stannous octoate (sn(oct)2) as the cataly...

The goal for current orthopedic implant research is to design implants that have not only good biocompatibility but also antibacterial properties. TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) were fabricated on the titanium surface through electrochemical anodization, which added new properties, such as enhanced biocompatibility and potential utility as drug nanoreservoirs. The aim of the present study was to investig...
