摘要
Particulate hydroxyapatite (HA) was incorporated into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) to form a bioactive and biodegradable composite for applications in hard tissue replacement and regeneration. HA/PHB composite containing 10, 20, and 30 vol.% of HA was made for in vitro evaluation. In vitro studies were conducted using an acellular simulated body fluid (SBF). Composite specimens were immersed in SBF at 37 degreesC for various periods of time prior to surface analysis and mechanical testing. Results obtained from scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination, thin film X-ray diffraction (TF-XRD) analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that a layer of bone-like apatite formed within a short period on HA/PHB composite after its immersion in SBF, demonstrating high in vitro bioactivity of the composite. The bioactivity and mechanical properties of the composite could be changed by varying the amount of HA in the composite. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed that the storage modulus (E') of HA/PHB composite increased initially with immersion time in SBF, due to apatite formation on composite surface and decreased after prolonged immersion in SBF, indicating degradation of the composite in a simulated body environment. HA/PHB composite thus has the potential for its intended applications. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.
