    Development and Properties of Polycaprolactone

    This document discusses the development and properties of polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) composite biomaterials. Two methods are used to prepare the composites: conventional blending and surface modification of HA particles. Surface modification involves grafting PCL onto the HA surface through ring opening polymerization, resulting in better interaction between the polymer and filler. Analysis shows the grafted composites have stronger mechanical properties, slower degradation, and better matrix-filler interfaces than the blended composites due to the chemical bonding between PCL and HA. The composites could be suitable for applications like bone substitution.

    Introduction
    Composites which consists of biodegradeable polymeric matrix
    and bioactive ceramic fillers may find many applications in the
    substitution of bone tissue and in many other orthopaedic
    applications. Polymer/ceramic combinations can be used for
    controlling
    composite
    biomaterials
    properties,
    such
    as
    biocompatibility, rate of degradability, and mechanical properties,
    making the materials suitable for use in a wide range of biomedical
    applications. However, poor adhesion between the polymeric matrix
    and ceramic particles results in early failure at the interface and in a
    too fast degradation of the composites mechanical properties. The
    filler/matrix interface is a major determinant for the mechanical
    behavior of composites.

    Purpose of Paper
    Obtain PCL/HA composites with enhanced
    interfacial interaction between the polymer and
    the filler using two different methods for
    preparing the composites

    Experimental
    Convential Blending
    Surface Modification of HA
    particles

    Conventional Blending
    Drying Hidroxy
    Apatite
    ( 2 days before
    use)

    Blending
    Polycaprolactone
    and Sintered
    Hidroxy Apatite in
    an extruder

    Allowing The
    blend to stay for
    30 minutes

    Surface Modification
    This method consists of grafting of PCL on the surface of HA
    particles. This is achieved by a ring opening polymerization of
    caprolactone (CL) in the presence of HA, where the OH groups of
    the HA act as intitiators

    Drying
    Hidroxyapatite
    (2 days Before
    Use)

    Drying
    Caprolactone
    with Calcium
    Hydride
    Ring Opening
    Polymerization
    of Caprolactone

    By this method, the polymer chains chemically bound ti the HA surface


    and results more entanglements with the polymer chains of the matrix.

    Analysis
    TGA
    Mechanical Properties
    SEM
    Degradation test

    Thermogravimetric Analysis
    TGA shows that the real HA content present on the
    composites obtained after processing by both methods
    was in the range of 10%, 20%, and 30% with an error of
    2%.

    Mechanical Properties
    In both methods, the values of of E0.3% increased with
    increasing amounts of filler and UTS values decrease
    with increasing amounts of HA in both methods

    Scanning Electron Microscope


    SEM of Blending Material:
    In the composites obtained by blending method a poor
    interaction between polymer and filler visualized

    SEM of Surface Modification


    In composites obtained by Surface Modification Method
    HA particles are covered with polymer, which is an
    indication of a good filler/matrix interface.

    Degradation Test
    Grafted composites have less susceptibility for water-uptake
    and degrade slower than the blended composites because of the
    grafting of PCL on HA particles leads to a better matrix/filler
    interface.
    The degradation rate is growing faster for higher amounts of
    water absorbed and for greater content of HA due to preferential
    attack at the matrix/filler interface.

    Conclusion
    Composites obtained by both methods, an increase in
    the modulus for higher amounts of filler is observed.
    The modulus (E0.3%) of the materials in wet state is
    lower than in the dry state. This difference is more
    significant in blended composites than grafted
    composites.
    SEM images indicate grafted composite has better
    matrix/filler interface than blended composite.
