    Objective (s) Due to the natural bone microstructure, the design and fabrication of porous ceramic scaffold nanocomposite materials coated with thin layer of a natural polymer can provide an ideal scaffold for bone tissue engineering. This study aimed to fabricate multi-component porous magnetic scaffolds by freeze- drying (FD) technique using a gelatin polymer layer coated with a gentamicin drug. Materials and Methods: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can be manipulated and controlled by an external magnetic field gradient (EMFG) that is inherent in the magnetic field's permeability within human tissues. In the present work, unlike the usual ceramic/polymer composite scaffold, the ceramic components and the magnet were placed together in the reaction medium from the beginning, and bioceramics were replaced in the composite polymer network and then coated with a drug-loaded polymer. To evaluate the morphology of the magnetic scaffold, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to evaluate the microstructure and observe the porosity of the porous tissue. Results and Discussion: After analyzing the SEM images, the porosity of the scaffolds was measured, which was similar to the normal bone architecture. Also, the porosity value increased from 55% to 78% with addition of MNPs to the based matrix. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that gentamicin-gelatin-coated on porous ceramic-magnet composite scaffolds could be used in bone tissue engineering and apply for treatment of bone tumors, because of their similarity to the bone structure with good porosity.

    2 - A polycaprolactone bio-nanocomposite bone substitute fabricated for femoral fracture approaches: Molecular dynamic and micro-mechanical Investigation
    Journal of Nanoanalysis , Issue 500 , Year 1 , Winter 2050

    The application of porous bio-nanocomposites polymer has greatly increased in the treatment of bone abnormalities and bone fracture. Therefore, predicting the mechanical properties of these bio-nanocomposites is very important prior to their fabrication. Investigation of mechanical properties like (elastic modulus and hardness) is very costly and time-consuming in experimental tests. Therefore, researchers have focused on mathematical methods and new theories to predict the artificial synthetic bone for orthopedic application. In this paper, porous bio-nanocomposites synthetic bone including nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and Titanium oxide (TiO2) containing (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt% of TiO2) as reinforcements and the biocompatible polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer as the matrix has been used for the fabrication of PCL-HA-TiO2. Then, the mechanical test was conducted on the samples and the extracted value from the experimental test was compared with the analytical model using molecular dynamics (MD) method. Finally, these properties were compared with the Dewey micromechanics theory, and the error rate between the experimental method and the Dewey theory was reported. It was found that as the porosity percentage increased in the sample three-phase in composites, the model has a higher error in this theory. Then, due to the importance of hydroxyapatite in the fabrication of bone scaffolds, the obtained results of mechanical properties (Elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio) have been analyzed statistically. The application of these equations in the rapid prediction of Elastic Modulus and Poisson's ratio of the synthetic bone scaffolds made of hydroxyapatite is highly recommended. Manuscript profile
