“…The reason BA was chosen instead of other reported crosslinkers such as hexamethylene diisocyanate, glutaraldehyde (GA), or sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) is that, as an inorganic reagent, BA shows relatively low toxicity. What's more, many studies identified that the existence of certain concentration of BA exhibited beneficial biological properties, which would be helpful for angiogenesis and wound repair, metabolic system, bone strength and compositions of plasma and bone . Moreover, the boron concentration can maintain in a relatively narrow range in human body because it can be rapidly excreted in urine, which would prevent the accumulation in tissue or plasma, and sequentially minimize the toxicity.…”

PVA films were prepared through aqueous solution method, and boric acid (BA) as well as graphene oxide (GO) was added to improve the mechanical and thermal properties. It was found that 5 wt % BA could increase the tensile strength threefold (from 23.3 to 67.7 MPa), and the incorporation of 0.2 wt % GO would provide additional percentage growth of 30% (from 67.7 to 88.5 MPa). Moreover, an enhancement of thermal stability of PVA film was found when BA or GO filler was added. The reinforcement mechanisms of both BA and GO were investigated, and a competitive phenomenon that the addition of BA would influence the reinforcement effect of GO sheets was found.

[7] Like other transition metal dichalcogenides, MoS 2 has a high surface-to-volume ratio, unsaturated coordination at the edges, and electronic structures that range from metallic, to semi-metallic and semiconducting.…”

Human health can be affected by materials indirectly through exposure to the environment or directly through close contact and uptake. With the ever‐growing use of 2D materials in many applications such as electronics, medical therapeutics, molecular sensing, and energy storage, it has become more pertinent to investigate their impact on the immune system. Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly important, considering their role as the main link between the innate and the adaptive immune system. By using primary human DCs, it is shown that hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), graphene oxide (GO) and molybdenum disulphide have minimal effects on viability. In particular, it is evidenced that hBN and GO increase DC maturation, while GO leads to the release of reactive oxygen species and pro‐inflammatory cytokines. hBN and MoS2 increase T cell proliferation with and without the presence of DCs. hBN in particular does not show any sign of downstream T cell polarization. The study allows ranking of the three materials in terms of inherent toxicity, providing the following trend: GO > hBN ≈ MoS2, with GO the most cytotoxic.

The effect of boron-containing bioactive glass (BG) particles in the SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O system on the bone formation was studied by histologic, histomorphometric and microchemical evaluation. Wistar rats were used throughout. Under anesthesia, 45S5 BG particles were placed inside the medullary compartment of the tibia (Control), while in the contralateral tibia (Experimental) 45S5.2B BG particles were implanted. The animals were sacrificed 15 days postimplantation. The tibiae were resected, radiographed, and embedded in methyl methacrylate resin. Sections were stained with toluidine blue and analyzed by light microscopy, backscattered scaning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Histomorphometric determinations were performed. Light microscopy of the histologic sections showed lamellar bone formation surrounding both biomaterials. The histomorphometric study revealed a statistically significant increase in bone tissue around 45S5.2B BG particles. EDX of newly formed bone tissue showed a rise in the Ca:P ratio when 45S5.2B BG particles were employed. The results described in the present study reveal that this boron-containing bioactive glass may be used as scaffold for bone tissue regeneration.
