    In the field of bone tissue engineering, biocomposite materials that stimulate and promote the regeneration of broken bones tissues have become the focus of recent research. This research aims to fabricate a biocomposite material of PMMA and hydroxyapatite (HA) combined with various concentrations of curcumin and EGDMA for bone tissue scaffold engineering. A characterization of the fabricated samples was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as mechanical properties to measure the tensile fracture and compressive strength of the samples. In order to develop antibacterial biomaterials for effective treatment and prevention of osteomyelitis, two typical strains of bacteria that cause osteomyelitis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, were tested using an agar diffusion assay. Our results strongly indicate that the combination of HA and curcumin nanoparticles into PMMA polymer matrix with reinforced EGDMA for the production of biocomposite scaffolds offer significant potential for bone tissue applications, potentially improving their performance and effectiveness. In addition to the mechanical and morphological properties of the biocomposite (PMMA/HA/Curcumin), the composite had excellent antibacterial activity for the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which offers the potential for the application of the composite in bone tissue engineering applications.

  • Optimized in vitro assessment of ZrO2–CaO/PMMA hybrid biocomposite with multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforcement for enhanced bone reconstruction

    In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are integrated into a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) biocomposite, stabilized with calcium oxide (CaO). This research aims to pave the way for further optimization of the biocomposite for targeted applications in bone tissue engineering. The incorporation of MWCNTs is intended to enhance the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the composite, making it a suitable candidate for bone reconstruction. Comprehensive analyses were conducted using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the structural and chemical changes in the biocomposite during immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). These analyses revealed a significant formation of a robust apatite layer on the composite surface after three days of immersion. Notably, the rate of apatite formation accelerated with the incorporation of MWCNTs, indicating an enhancement in the bioactivity of the composite. The study findings demonstrate that an MWCNT-reinforced PMMA/ZrO2–CaO composite exhibits excellent biocompatibility, as well as accelerated bioactivity. These properties are crucial for bone tissue engineering applications, where materials must integrate seamlessly with natural bone and support new bone formation. The results confirm the potential of this advanced biocomposite as a promising biomaterial for bone replacement procedures, offering improved performance over traditional materials.
  • In vivo investigations of polymers in bone tissue engineering: a review study
    Ali A. Al-allaq, Jenan S. Kashan, Farah M. Abdul-Kareem
    International Journal of Polymeric Materials and Polymeric Biomaterials, 2024
    Bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications and regenerative strategies have been used to improve the clinical practice of repairing large bone defects associated with surgical resections, congenital malformations, and trauma. The scaffolds are designed to stimulate a biological response, including cell interactions, and guide tissue regeneration by functioning as artificial biomimetic extracellular matrixes. Polymeric biomaterials are suitable for bone tissue engineering since they possess both chemical and physical properties, enabling the control of shape, morphology, and biodegradability, which makes them suitable for bone regeneration and tissue engineering applications. In vivo animal models were studied for collagen, chitosan, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), the four most common polymers employed in bone tissue engineering. Through analysis of the results of this review, the in vivo studies can provide a large-scale evaluation of the possibility of achieving optimal bone-forming capabilities and regenerative capabilities. Furthermore, the review will serve as an essential reference for bone tissue engineering applications as well as contribute to the development of novel in vivo investigations
  • Synthesis and characterization of nano-biocomposite (PMMA-hydroxyapatite - CaZrO3) for bone tissue engineering
    Ali A. Al-allaq, Jenan S. Kashan, Abdalla Abdal-Hay, Hassan Fouad
    Polymer Plastics Technology and Materials, 2024
    In a common scenario, bone fractures have a self-healing function with free-surgical intervention. However, some fractures in bone tissue are complex and leave behind remnant deformation that requires biomaterials for replacement. The aim of this study is to develop a new composite 3D scaffold for bone regeneration and replacement composed of calcium zirconate (CaZrO3), hydroxyapatite (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polymer. Different 3D scaffolds were fabricated by mixing 90, 80, 70, and 60 wt. % PMMA with HA and CaZrO3 nanoparticles in different concentrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques were applied to characterize the 3D composite scaffold properties. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the fabricated scaffolds were investigated using Brazilian diametral fracture test. It was found that incorporating a uniform distribution of HA nanoparticles significantly increased the surface roughness of the composite scaffold. Furthermore, the fracture strength of the fabricated 3D scaffolds showed a remarkable improvement of 86% in the sample containing 90% PMMA, 7% HA, and 3% CaZrO3 compared to the sample devoid of CaZrO3. Our findings strongly indicate that integrating hybrid CaZrO3-HA nanoparticles into PMMA polymer for the production of 3D composite scaffolds holds significant promise for bone tissue applications, potentially enhancing their efficacy and performance.

    The objective of this study is to demonstrate how the effect of adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanoparticles to the (Hydroxyapatite /High-density polyethylene) bio-composites. In this investigation, the samples with various percentages of (MWCNTs) were fabricated by a hot-press technique. The morphological characteristics, roughness of the surface and thermal properties of the bio-composite samples (HA/HDPE/MWCNTs) were investigated. The excellent homo-geneous distribution of the internal fibrous network and microstructure arrangements were among the most prominent characteristics obtained through FE-SEM and AFM examinations. The degree of crystallinity showed that the (MWCNTs) additives enhance by an increase of approximately (35%), compared with pure sample (without addition MWCNTs). Based on the experimental results obtained, the fabrication of the presented bio-composites sample exhibited the excellent characteristics that make them promising material for biomedical application as a substitute material for hard tissue likes bone reconstruction.

    In this investigation, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with various percentages (0.6%, 1%, 1.4%, 2%) were combined into ​and High-density polyethylene HDPE (60) wt. % and hydroxyapatite (40) wt. % to form biocomposite using hot-press techniques. The surface topography by AFM images illustrates differences in the roughness of the sample's surface with different adding percentages of MWCNT. The DSC technique exhibits the effect of adding MWCNT in different percentages with the degree of crystallinity, which its effect on mechanical properties for samples. The in vitro bioactivity was investigated by immersion the samples in Ringer's solution as simulated body fluid (SBF) at (0, 3, 6, 9, 12) days (after immersing). The FE-SEM and EDx image explained the apatite layers formation on the sample's surface after 3 days immersed in Ringer solution. Based on XRD Technique, after immersion days in the Ringer solution, the crystallographic structure of hydroxyapatite is formed, forming the monetite. ​The enhancement of bioactivity has been shown during the incorporation of MWCNT into HA/HDPE composite. These results exhibited excellent indications of biocompatibility properties with the possibility of making promising biomaterials for making bone substitute applications.
