Abstract:

Ferroferric oxide/poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)(PBLG) composite materials(Fe3O4-g-PBLG) was synthesized by initiating γ-benzyl-L-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride(BLG-NCA) polymerization on the surface of amino-functionalized ferroferric oxide(Fe3O4) nanoparticles. Fe3O4-g-PBLG composites was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric(TGA) study showed that the grafting ratios of Fe3O4-g-PBLG were 66.36%, 79.66%, and 89.52%, and grafting ratio of Fe3O4-g-PBLG composite could be controlled. The Fe3O4-g-PBLG with grafting ratio of 89.52% was used to fabricate magnetic Fe3O4-g-PBLG porous microcarriers. The porous microcarriers possessed suitable density(1.034 g/mL), porosity(92.57%), particle size(200—300 μm), pore size(40—50 μm) and water retention(370%—400%). Meanwhile, microcarriers exhibited superparamagnetism. Under the action of magnetic fields, the microcarriers can be arranged into any shape, showing significant advantages for the treatment of complex structure of the bone defects. These results showed that Fe3O4-g-PBLG porous microcarriers might be applied in bone tissue engineering.
