Abstract
Composite materials were prepared by mixing in different proportions of hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone-oxyethylene-epsilon-caprolactone) block copolymer (PCL-POE-PCL) to produce a new resorbable material for biomedical applications. This material has proved to be very interesting for production of periodontal membranes. Mechanical properties are linearly proportional to the amount of HA introduced. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) investigations have pointed out that HA is able to influence some close epsilon-caprolactone molecules to start its homopolymerization giving PCL with an end chain ionic bonding. HA grains are therefore surrounded by a film of PCL which grants close connection of HA grains within copolymeric matrix. This interface bond with PCL is, however, an interesting occurrence for preparations of HA/PCL composites. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
