Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Injectable biodegradable hydrogels offer minimally invasive delivery for applications like drug delivery and tissue engineering.
  • Citric acid-based poly (ethylene glycol) maleate citrate (PEGMC)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composites are promising for bone tissue engineering.
  • Understanding the mechanical properties of these hydrogels is crucial for their effective application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanical properties of an in situ crosslinkable PEGMC/HA composite.
  • To determine the effect of monomer ratio, crosslinker, initiator, and HA concentrations on gel crosslinking and mechanical properties.
  • To explore the physical interactions between hydroxyapatite and citric acid-based PEGMC.

Main Methods:

  • Dynamic linear rheology experiments were employed to study the mechanical properties.
  • PEGMC/HA composites were synthesized with varying concentrations of key components.
  • Rheological data was analyzed to understand crosslinking extent and viscoelastic properties.

Main Results:

  • Varying monomer ratio, crosslinker, initiator, and HA concentrations significantly impacted the crosslinking extent and mechanical properties of the PEGMC/HA gels.
  • Rheological studies provided novel insights into the physical interactions between HA and citric acid-based PEGMC.
  • The study established a correlation between component concentrations and the resulting gel's mechanical performance.

Conclusions:

  • The mechanical properties of injectable PEGMC/HA hydrogels can be tuned by adjusting component concentrations.
  • Understanding these viscoelastic properties is essential for developing effective injectable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
  • These findings support the broader application of citric acid-based biodegradable polymers in biomedical fields.
