Polyetherimide membrane formation by the cononsolvent system and its biocompatibility of MG63 cell line

Preparation and characterization of collagen‐nanohydroxyapatite biocomposite scaffolds by cryogelation method for bone tissue engineering applications

“…When the cells contact the biomaterials' surface, they should have some morphological changes in order to stabilize the cell–matrix interface. The most important events of cell attachment include cell adhesion to the substrate, radial growth of filopodia, cytoplasmatic networking, and flattening of the cell mass progressing in a sequential manner 49. SEM images of MG63 cells seeded on collagen and collagen‐nanoHA biocomposite scaffolds were obtained to observe the cell biocompatibility behavior (Fig.…”

Nanocomposite membranes of polyetherimide nanostructured with palladium particles: Processing route, morphology and functional properties

“…These objectives consist in (i) preparing polymer/Pd nanocomposite films with different morphologies for a wide range of palladium amount, from a same polymer/metal precursor system, using thermal annealing as in situ generation route. For this purpose, a high glass transition temperature polymer (polyetherimide) widely used for membrane applications [39][40][41][42][43] was chosen and palladium acetate was taken as the metal precursor (ii) understanding the nanostructuration process and the subsequent morphology developed in the nanocomposites films (iii) establishing the gas transport mechanisms for a series of gases including interactive and non-interactive gases. To attain this goal, particular attention has been paid on the accessibility of the nanoparticles by the gas, on the gas/particle interaction and on the respective nanoparticle and matrix properties.…”

Poly(ether imide) Scaffolds as Multifunctional Materials for Potential Applications in Regenerative Medicine

“…The first authors studied PEI films and reported negligible cytotoxicity, using mouse 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, and neglible hemolysis (11,26). Various cell types have been studied in the meantime, such as fibroblasts, hepatocytes, endothelial cells, platelets, macrophages, and osteoblast‐like cells (8–16) so that PEI scaffolds should not only be considered for apheresis (23) but other applications such as biohybrid organs (9,12), or implants (10,27). Human hepatoblastma C3A cells were cultivated on PEI flat sheet membranes, and the cell attachment, morphology, proliferation, and function were studied and compared to less hydrophobic membranes such as a polyacrylonitrile‐N‐vinylpyrollidone copolymer membrane (9).…”

“…Overall, PEI membranes showed to be very favorable for the application in biohybrid liver devices. Also, human osteoblast‐like cell line MG63 was seeded on PEI flat sheet membranes (13) and showed sufficient cell viability and level of secreted cytokines and prostaglandins and thus suggests that these membranes are suited to culture osteoblasts.…”

“…In the context of multifunctionality, the demand for the application in apheresis can be clearly defined: a combination of (selective) separation, hemocompatibility, and a sufficient stability is required. Poly(ether imide) (PEI) has shown to fulfill these demands because of its excellent membrane‐forming properties (6,7), its biocompatibility (8–16), and its sufficient biostability for the envisaged applications in blood purification processes. Because it is thermally stable, it can be steam sterilized and thus is well suited for medical applications.…”
