Injectable Bioactive Glass/Polysaccharide Polymers Nanocomposites for Bone Substitution

Article Preview

Abstract:

nanobioactive glasses are biocompatible and osteoconductive materials which can be mixed with solution of biocompatible polymers to make nanobiocomposite paste for hard and even soft tissue treatment. In this study, bioactive glass based on CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system was produced via sol-gel technique and mixed with a solution phase. The solution phase was a 1:1 mixture of 3% hyaluronic acid solution and 3% sodium alginate solution in v/v. Rheological behaviors of the paste in rotation and oscillation modes were measured. For surface reactivity measurements, the paste was immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for different intervals and then characterized by SEM. The paste exhibited a superior injectability even from syringes with too narrow tips. It was a thixotropic fluid with shear thinning behavior. The results of surface reactivity revealed precipitation of apatite phase on the paste surfaces meanwhile an appropriate structural stability was observed against disintegration (anti-washout behavior). It seems that this biocomposite paste is an appropriate alternative for injectable bone substitute materials.
