Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro evaluation of poly(ε-caprolactone-co-DL-lactide)/bioactive glass composites
TL;DR: In vitro bioactivity of composites of poly(e-caprolactone-co-DL-lactide) P(CL/DL-LA) containing different amounts (40, 60 and 70 W%) of bioactive glass, S53P4, was evaluated as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro Ca-P precipitation on biodegradable thermoplastic composite of poly(ε-caprolactone-co-dl-lactide) and bioactive glass (S53P4)
TL;DR: The results indicate that composites containing over 40 wt% BAG granules are bioactive, and that a higher BAG surface area/volume ratio favors the apatite formation in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injectable bioactive glass/biodegradable polymer composite for bone and cartilage reconstruction: Concept and experimental outcome with thermoplastic composites of poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) and bioactive glass S53P4

TL;DR: Injectable composites of particulate bioactive glass S53P4 (BAG) and Poly(ε-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) as thermoplastic carrier matrix investigated as bone fillers in cancellous and cartilagineous subchondral bone defects in rabbits indicate a suitable working concept as a filler bone substitute for sub chondral cancellous bone defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of dextran using click-chemistry approach in aqueous media
TL;DR: In this article, dextran was modified using click-chemistry, including the introduction of azide functionalities to the backbone of the polysaccharide using base-catalysis in water/isopropanol mixture at ambient temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
An in vitro study of composites of poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone), β-tricalcium phosphate and ciprofloxacin intended for local treatment of osteomyelitis
Niina Ahola,Noora Männistö,Minna Veiranto,Matti Karp,Jaana Rich,Alexander Efimov,Jukka Seppälä,Minna Kellomäki +7 more
TL;DR: In vitro bone filling composite materials that release ciprofloxacin to kill any remaining bacteria and contain bioceramic to help the bone to heal showed great potential to be developed into bone filler materials for the treatment of osteomyelitis or other bone related infections.
