The osseointegration of biomedical implants within the host site is a key
aspect to early recovery of patients. This webinar presents the deposition
of polymeric coatings embedded with a novel amorphous calcium phosphate
(ACP) formulation using the direct-write inkjet method. Biodegradable
polymers that include polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic)
acid (PLGA) were blended with varying loading concentrations of ACP. The
direct-write inkjet method was used to deposit 10 and 20 layers of
respective materials on polished titanium (Ti) substrates. Surface
morphology and chemical composition of the coatings were characterized by
optical microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),
respectively. PCL-ACP composite films showed homogeneous deposition,
whereas the PLGA-ACP coatings showed regions coated with bare PLGA polymer
without the presence of ACP. The Alamar blue assay was employed to assess
the metabolic activity (viability) of the MC3T3 osteoblast precursor cells.
Further, an in-vitro live-dead assessment using MC3T3 cells was conducted
for Cyto-compatibility. This research lays a foundation for developing
calcium phosphate containing polymeric composite coatings for orthopedic
applications.
