The mussel-inspired assisted apatite mineralized on PolyJet material for artificial bone scaffold
Journal Title: International Journal of Bioprinting - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing, many commercial 3D printing materials have been applied in the fields of biomedicine and medical. MED610 is a clear, biocompatible PolyJet material that is medically certified for bodily contact. In this study, the polydopamine (PDA)/hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was added to the printed MED610 objects to evaluate its physical properties, cell proliferation, cell morphology, and alkaline phosphatase expression level. The results show that the PDA/HA coating helps printed objects to enhance the hardness, biocompatibility, and osteogenic differentiation potential. We expect that PDA/HA coatings contribute to the applicability of MED610 in biomedical and medical applications.
