Apatite is a compound widely used in tissue repair purposes, hard tissue in particular. Various types of apatitic compounds have been introduced. However, its weak mechanical strength limits further utilization. One of the means to overcome this problem is to use it as a surface modifying agent. In this study, we synthesized an apatitic thin film on a poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) scaffold in order to improve biocompatibility. The physical and chemical properties of the films were analyzed using SEM, EDX, and goniometer. The bioactivity of films was examined using osteoblast-like MG63 cells. |
