Strong and Bioactive Tri-Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds with Tube-Like Macropores

Abstract: Calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds have been widely investigated for bone tissue engineering due to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradation. Unfortunately, they have low mechanical properties, which inversely restrict their wide applications in load-bearing bone tissue engineering. In this study, porous Si-doped tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) ceramics with a high porosity (~65%) and with interconnected macrotubes (~0.8mm in diameter) and micropores (5-100 μm) were prepared by firing hydroxyapatite (H… Show more

“…However, it is necessary to match the rate of resorbtion with that of the expected bone tissue regeneration. When the solubility of a calcium phosphate is higher than the rate of tissue regeneration, it will only be limited use in bone cavity and defect filling [14]. figures (8, 9, and 10) respectively.…”

“…The increase in porosity is beneficial for biological property enhancement, as a larger fraction of interconnected pores favour cell adhesion and penetration into the scaffold leading to better bone tissue regeneration [59]. The incorporation of Cpt in the HA structure led to the decrease in the bulk density to 2.72 g cm −3 , which was assigned to the phase transformation of HA to βTCP and incorporation of Cpt in the structure [60,61]. A study conducted by Kolken et al showed that the biomaterial with lower relative density allows for maximal bone ingrowth into the scaffold variant [62].…”

“…The brittleness and bearing load of CaP scaffolds with highly interconnected pores limit the application of this compound in bone restoration [28,29]. The compressive strength of porous scaffolds with CaP as the matrix is only 3 MPa [30], and scaffolds with bioactive borosilicate glass can lead to dense struts and a maximum compressive strength of approximately 10 MPa given an overall porosity of approximately 70% [31,32]. This study employed an approach that combines a multilayer PLA composite with CPC matrix; the composite displayed highcompressive strength of over 10 MPa before immersion.…”
