“…Therefore, agglomerated p-HA and c-HA can be easily broken down into smaller particle under the influence of shear force during the composite preparation. Additionally, there was a report in biomaterial applications that the homogeneous dispersion of HA in the polymer matrix can enhance protein adsorption and cell adhesion and proliferation due to the larger specific surface area of HA [12,28,29] .…”

In this work, nano-size HA was produced from bovine bone. At various heat treatment temperatures, poorly crystalline, partially crystalline and crystalline forms of HA were obtained. PLA composites were prepared by incorporating various forms and contents of HA into PLA matrix. The characteristics of the obtained HA powders affected properties of PLA composites including mechanical properties, morphologies, PLA molecular weight, in vitro bioactivity and in vitro degradation behaviors of the composites. In the case of in vitro bioactivity study, all composites illustrated the induction of bone-like calcium phosphate compounds on their surfaces, especially the PLA/a-HA composites.

“…Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a promising candidate for scaffolding because it is FDA approved, is low-cost, but also has soft and flexible characteristics [25,26]. For these reasons, Aghdam et al [27] used PCL and PGA to construct a synthetic nanofibrous scaffold to culture cardiac progenitor cells.…”

Nanomaterials for Cardiac Myocyte Tissue Engineering

Since their synthesizing introduction to the research community, nanomaterials have infiltrated almost every corner of science and engineering. Over the last decade, one such field has begun to look at using nanomaterials for beneficial applications in tissue engineering, specifically, cardiac tissue engineering. During a myocardial infarction, part of the cardiac muscle, or myocardium, is deprived of blood. Therefore, the lack of oxygen destroys cardiomyocytes, leaving dead tissue and possibly resulting in the development of arrhythmia, ventricular remodeling, and eventual heart failure. Scarred cardiac muscle results in heart failure for millions of heart attack survivors worldwide. Modern cardiac tissue engineering research has developed nanomaterial applications to combat heart failure, preserve normal heart tissue, and grow healthy myocardium around the infarcted area. This review will discuss the recent progress of nanomaterials for cardiovascular tissue engineering applications through three main nanomaterial approaches: scaffold designs, patches, and injectable materials.

Ecofriendly thermoplastic composites combining basalt fiber and polylactic acid were prepared and analyzed, considering effects when the fiber is silane treated. Intended to improve mechanical properties of the composites, the silane treatment varied the types of silane solution (water-and methanol-based solvents) and immersion time (15 and 60 min). Optimum mechanical properties were exhibited by composite whose basalt fiber constituent was treated by silane dissolved in water-based solvent, for a short period of time.
