Fabrication of Bioactive Polycaprolactone by Incorporation of Apatite Nuclei

Article Preview

Abstract:

When the pH or the temperature of a simulated body fluid is raised, fine particles of calcium phosphate are precipitated, which are named apatite nuclei (AN). In this study, we aimed to impart bioactivity to polycaprolactone by incorporating AN. AN-PCL composite films having different weight percentages of AN in PCL were fabricated by solution casting technique, using doctor blade method. Results showed that more than 20 wt.% AN-PCL films were fully covered with hydroxyapatite layer in three days soaking period in SBF.
