Ł., Poly(L-lactide)/nano-hydroxyapatite piezoelectric scaffolds for tissue engineering, Micron, ISSN: 0968-4328, DOI: 10.1016/j.micron.2024.103743, Vol.188, pp.103743-1-15, 2025 Streszczenie: The development of bone tissue engineering, a field with significant potential, requires a biomaterial with high bioactivity. The aim of this manuscript was to fabricate a nanofibrous poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold containing nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) to investigate PLLA/nHA composites, particularly the effect of fiber arrangement and the addition of nHA on the piezoelectric phases and piezoelectricity of PLLA samples. In this study, we evaluated the effect of nHA particles on a PLLA-based electrospun scaffold with random and aligned fiber orientations. The addition of nHA increased the surface free energy of PLLA/nHA (42.9 mN/m) compared to PLLA (33.1 mN/m) in the case of aligned fibers. WAXS results indicated that at room temperature, all the fibers are in an amorphous state indicated by a lack of diffraction peaks and amorphous halo. DSC analysis showed that all samples located in the amorphous/disordered alpha' phase crystallize intensively at temperatures just above the Tg and recrystallize on further heating, achieving significantly higher crystallinity for pure PLLA than for doped nHA, 70 % vs 40 %, respectively. Additionally, PLLA/nHA fibers show a lower heat capacity for PLLA in the amorphous state, indicating that nHA reduces the molecular mobility of PLLA. Moreover, piezoelectric constant d33 was found to increase with the addition of nHA and for the aligned orientation of the fibers. In vitro tests confirmed that the addition of nHA and the aligned orientation of nanofibers increased osteoblast proliferation.

Ł., Piezoelectric Scaffolds as Smart Materials for Bone Tissue Engineering, Polymers, ISSN: 2073-4360, DOI: 10.3390/polym16192797, Vol.16, No.19, pp.2797-1-30, 2024 Streszczenie: Bone repair and regeneration require physiological cues, including mechanical, electrical, and biochemical activity. Many biomaterials have been investigated as bioactive scaffolds with excellent electrical properties. Amongst biomaterials, piezoelectric materials (PMs) are gaining attention in biomedicine, power harvesting, biomedical devices, and structural health monitoring. PMs have unique properties, such as the ability to affect physiological movements and deliver electrical stimuli to damaged bone or cells without an external power source. The crucial bone property is its piezoelectricity. Bones can generate electrical charges and potential in response to mechanical stimuli, as they influence bone growth and regeneration. Piezoelectric materials respond to human microenvironment stimuli and are an important factor in bone regeneration and repair. This manuscript is an overview of the fundamentals of the materials generating the piezoelectric effect and their influence on bone repair and regeneration. This paper focuses on the state of the art of piezoelectric materials, such as polymers, ceramics, and composites, and their application in bone tissue engineering. We present important information from the point of view of bone tissue engineering. We highlight promising upcoming approaches and new generations of piezoelectric materials.

They are an effect of diversified, difficult-to-access tissue structures as well as complex regeneration mechanisms. Currently, commercially available materials partially solve this problem, but they do not fulfill all of the bone/cartilage and neural tissue engineering requirements such as mechanical properties, biochemical cues or adequate biodegradation. There are still many things to do to provide complete restoration of injured tissues. Recent reports in bone/cartilage and neural tissue engineering give high hopes in designing scaffolds for complete tissue regeneration. This review thoroughly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of currently available commercial scaffolds and sheds new light on the designing of novel polymeric scaffolds composed of hydrogels, electrospun nanofibers, or hydrogels loaded with nano-additives.
