Abstract:

Castor oil was transesterified with glycerol, the glyceride of castor oil(GCO) copolymerized with isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) to generate polyurethane(PU). The porous scaffolds of hydroxyapatite/glyceride based polyurethae(HA/GCPU) were prepared by in situ polymerization. The GCPU and HA/GCPU porous scaffolds were characterized by Fourier transforw infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The mechanical property and porosity were tested. The results showed that the porosity of GCPU, HA/GCPU composite with 20% HA and HA/GCPU composite with 40% HA were (61±3)%, (68±2)% and (57±3)%, respectively. The compressive strength of above three porous scaffolds were 605±61, 2125±58 and (4588±260) kPa, respectively. To further evaluate the cytocompatibility of porous scaffolds, the MG63 cells were co-cultured on scaffolds, and light microscopy observation, SEM observation, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium-bromide(MTT) assay were carried out. The results demonstrated that both pure GCPU and HA/GCPU scaffolds had no cytotoxicity. It is believed that HA/GCPU composite porous scaffolds have the potential to be applied in bone regeneration.
