Electrodeposition on Nanofibrous Polymer Scaffolds: Rapid Mineralization, Tunable Calcium Phosphate Composition and Topography

Abstract: We developed a straightforward, fast, and versatile technique to fabricate mineralized nanofibrous polymer scaffolds for bone regeneration in this work. Nanofibrous poly(l-lactic acid) scaffolds were fabricated using both electrospinning and phase separation techniques. An electrodeposition process was designed to deposit calcium phosphate on the nanofibrous scaffolds. Such scaffolds contain a high quality mineral coating on the fiber surface with tunable surface topography and chemical composition by varying … Show more

“…However, static mineralization is very time consuming because the solution has to be changed every 2 h and yields nonuniform mineralization throughout the scaffold. 30,31 Flow mineralization, on the other hand, utilizes a pump to actively flow the SBF solution through a chamber in which the scaffolds are housed. The advantages of using flow mineralization include a rapid and an active replacement of the SBF solution.…”

“…Ideally, the scaffolding materials should also be a mimic of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) of the target tissue by integrating suitable mechanical, structural, and biological signals into scaffold [2]. To this end, a wide range of natural biopolymer-based scaffolds have been proposed for tissue repair or regeneration during the past years.…”

“…For example, it usually requires several weeks to form a mineralized HA layer on the surface of pure PLA polymer. 40,41 The result can be explained by the hydrophobic properties of PLA polymer which cannot supply active groups or sites for the mineralization. 23,42 The result obtained for PLA nanofibers also indicated poor mineralization.…”
