This study was designed to investigate the in vivo biodegration and biocompatibility of a poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)-based orthopedic biomaterial. The effects of varying the PPF to N-vinyl pyrrolidinone ratio and PPF to β€-tricalcium phosphate content were studied. The composite mechanical proper

The degradation of poly(propylene fumarate-coethylene glycol) hydrogels was examined in vitro in phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.4 and in vivo in a subcutaneous rat model. These hydrogels have potential application as biodegradable, injectable cardiovascular stents, and, as such, their mass loss,
We have developed a biodegradable particulate composite bone cement consisting of a poly(propylene glycolfumarate)-(methylmethacrylate) matrix mixed with calcium carbonate and tricalcium phosphate particulates. Previous ex vivo studies suggest that this system provides sufficient strength for a numb
## Abstract This study investigated the __in vitro__ degradation of poly(propylene fumarate)/Ξ²βtricalcium phosphate (PPF/Ξ²βTCP) scaffolds in pH 7.4 phosphateβbuffered saline at 37Β°C. Scaffold design consisted of three layers: two solid layers about a central layer of porous PPF foam. Solid PPF with
## Abstract In this work, we evaluated the __in vitro__ cytotoxicity and __in vivo__ biocompatibility of a novel poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)βbased/alumoxane nanocomposite for bone tissue engineering applications. The incorporation of functionalized alumoxane nanoparticles into the PPFβbased poly
## Abstract The ideal biomaterial for the repair of bone defects is expected to have good mechanical properties, be fabricated easily into a desired shape, support cell attachment, allow controlled release of bioactive factors to induce bone formation, and biodegrade into nontoxic products to permi
