This paper provides review updates on the current development of bionanocomposites with polymeric matrices consisting of synthetic biodegradable aliphatic polyesters reinforced with nanohydroxyaptite (nHA) and/or graphene oxide (GO) nanofillers for bone tissue engineering applications. Biodegradable aliphatic polyesters include poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL) and copolymers of PLA-PGA (PLGA). Those bionanocomposites have been explored for making 3D porous scaffolds for the repair of bone defects since nHA and GO enhance their bioactivity and biocompatibility by promoting biomineralization, bone cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, thus facilitating new bone tissue formation upon implantation. The incorporation of nHA or GO into aliphatic polyester scaffolds also improves their mechanical strength greatly, especially hybrid GO/nHA nanofilllers. Those mechanically strong nanocomposite scaffolds can support and promote cell attachment for tissue growth. Porous scaffolds fabricated from conventional porogen leaching, and thermally induced phase separation have many drawbacks inducing the use of organic solvents, poor control of pore shape and pore interconnectivity, while electrospinning mats exhibit small pores that limit cell infiltration and tissue ingrowth. Recent advancement of 3D additive manufacturing allows the production of aliphatic polyester nanocomposite scaffolds with precisely controlled pore geometries and large pores for the cell attachment, growth, and differentiation in vitro, and the new bone formation in vivo.

AbstractWe studied the potential applications of Portland cement and Portland cement-Metakaolin blends as scaffolding materials for load bearing bone tissue engineering. Cementitious pastes were prepared by mixing Portland cement and Metakaolin at different ratios (100:0, 85:15), and hydrated under a concentrated CO2 atmosphere (carbonated pastes). Pastes fabricated similarly, but hydrated under normal atmospheric conditions were used for comparison (non-carbonated pastes). Compressive tests were run to evaluate the mechanical properties of the pastes. The bioactivity of the samples was tested in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for 1 and 4 days. Sample morphology and chemistry were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The cytocompatibility was studied using human osteosarcoma (HOS) cell cultures and the direct contact assay. Mechanical characterization did not show significant differences in the compressive strength of the blends compared to pure cement controls. The bioactivity test revealed that the pastes induced surface precipitation of calcium phosphate (CaP) when exposed to the SBF solution (as confirmed by SEM and EDS). Non-carbonated pastes induced early CaP precipitation. Cytocompatibility experiments showed that the carbonated blends allowed adequate cell growth. Non-carbonated blends presented a highly cytotoxic behavior. The introduction of Metakaolin did not affect the cytocompatibility of the samples. These results show that Portland cement and Portland cement-Metakaolin blends could present suitable characteristics for applications as scaffolding materials in load bearing bone tissue engineering.
