Book Characterization of Biomaterials

Download or read book Characterization of Biomaterials written by Julia Will and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to enhance the application potential of scaffolds in tissue engineering, comprehensive characterization of scaffold micro- and macro-structure, porosity, permeability and mechanical properties are required. In addition, before in vivo studies can be carried out, a complete assessment of the in vitro behavior of scaffolds, e.g. in selected cell culture studies, is required. The present chapter revises the wide range of methods applied to characterize scaffolds and emphasizes the need for a combination of different characterization techniques for understanding scaffold performance required for successful bone regeneration.

Book Development and Characterization of PLGA 8515 Scaffold for Tissue Engineering Applications

Download or read book Development and Characterization of PLGA 8515 Scaffold for Tissue Engineering Applications written by Josee Karine Perron and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reports the design, development, and characterization of 85/15 poly (dl-lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA 85/15) scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. In this respect the effects of different processing parameters on the PLGA 85/15 scaffold's physical and mechanical properties were investigated. Porous PLGA 85/15 scaffolds were prepared using a gas foaming/salt leaching technique. The processing parameters under examination included gas saturation pressure, gas saturation time, and NaCl/polymer mass ratio. The physical properties of the scaffold considered were the density, the porosity, the average pore size, and the pore density. The mechanical property studied was the Young's modulus in compression. The results demonstrated that all the processing parameters worked in concert to produce a scaffold with a high level of interconnectivity. From the parameteric study, key processing parameters were identified and selected parameters led to optimal physical and mechanical properties of the scaffold. The experimental results obtained from the mechanical properties of scaffolds were compared with a theoretical model from Gibson and Ashby relating the scaffold's mechanical properties to the density. The predicted elastic responses of opened pores structure from the theoretical model showed agreement with the experimental results. Subsequently, the effect of the optimized PLGA 85/15 scaffolds on the cell growth and the cell viability of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60) were reported. The investigation showed that the cell growth and viability were not impaired by the presence of PLGA 85/15 scaffolds for the time period under investigation. Finally, the effects of different degradation media on the optimized PLGA 85/15 scaffold's physical and mechanical properties were also elucidated. The three different media were distilled water (dH2O), a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, and HL-60 cells. In general, the average macropore size and the average molecular weight decreased as the degradation time increased in each medium. However, the scaffolds maintained mechanical and structural integrity throughout the study in all three media over the degradation period studied. Overall, PBS solution most strongly affected physical and mechanical properties, followed by dH2O and HL-60 cells. The distinct variations of the scaffold's properties using different media, demonstrated the importance of carefully selecting the medium to perform in vitro studies. The medium must replicate the actual environment where the scaffold would be used, in order to represent accurately the changes in properties that the scaffold would be undergoing.

Book Automated Design of Trabecular Structures

Download or read book Automated Design of Trabecular Structures written by Ettore Ramin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing technologies are enabling newfound degrees of geometrical complexity to be realised, particularly with regards to internal structures. All of these manufacturing technologies are dependant on their prior design in an appropriate electronic form, either by reverse engineering, or, primarily, by computer-aided design. Within these emerging applications is the design of scaffolds with an intricate and controlled internal structure for bone tissue engineering. There is a consensus that ideal bone scaffold geometry is evident in biological trabecular structures. In their most basic topological form, these structures consist of the non-linear distribution of irregular interconnecting rods and plates of different size and shape. Complex and irregular architectures can be realised by several scaffold manufacturingtechniques, but with little or no control over the main features of the internal geometry, suchas size, shape and interconnectivity of each individual element. The combined use ofcomputer aided design systems and additive manufacturing techniques allows a high degreeof control over these parameters with few limitations in terms of achievable complexity. However, the design of irregular and intricate trabecular networks in computer aided designsystems is extremely time-consuming since manually modelling an extraordinary number ofdifferent rods and plates, all with different parameters, may require several days to design anindividual scaffold structure. In an attempt to address these difficulties, several otherresearch efforts in this domain have largely focussed on techniques which result in designswhich comprise of relatively regular and primitive shapes and do not represent the level ofcomplexity seen biologically. Detailed descriptions of these methods are covered in chapter 1. An automated design methodology for trabecular structures is proposed by this research to overcome these limitations. This approach involves the investigation of novel software algorithms, which are able to interact with a conventional computer aided design programand permit the automated design of geometrical elements in the form of rods, each with adifferent size and shape. The methodology is described in chapter 2 and is tested in chapter3. Applications of this methodology in anatomical designs are covered in chapter 4. Nevertheless, complex designed rod networks may still present very different properties compared to trabecular bone geometries due to a lack detailed information available which explicitly detail their geometry. The lack of detailed quantitative descriptions of trabecular bone geometries may compromise the validity of any design methodology, irrespective of automation and efficiency. Although flexibility of a design methodology is beneficial, this may be rendered inadequate when insufficient quantitative data is known of the target structure. In this work a novel analysis methodology is proposed in chapter 5, which may provide a significant contribution toward the characterisation and quantification of target geometries, with particular focus on trabecular bone structures. This analysis methodology can be used either to evaluate existing design techniques or to drive the development of new bio-mimetic design techniques. This work then progresses to a newly derived bio-mimetic automated design technique, driven by the newly produced quantitative data on trabecular bone geometries. This advanced design methodology has been developed and tested in chapter 6. This has demonstrated the validity of the technique and realised a significant stage of development inthe context and scope of this work.
