Cartilage tissue engineering with polymers

Each section will express in detail features that can impart advanced properties to the polymer composites, with methods of surface modification, the central role of composites as sustained and controlled release systems (of drugs and other bioactive agents), and a part that reports on nanocomposites. The chapter concludes with general remarks and an insight of the likely future trends concerning the use of polymer composites for bone and cartilage tissue engineering. [Pg.123]

PGA was one of the very first degradable polymers ever investigated for biomedical use. PGA found favor as a degradable suture, and has been actively used since 1970 [45 -7]. Because PGA is poorly soluble in many common solvents, limited research has been conducted with PGA-based drug delivery devices. Instead, most recent research has focused on short-term tissue engineering scaffolds. PGA is often fabricated into a mesh network and has been used as a scaffold for bone [48-51], cartilage [52-54], tendon [55, 56], and tooth [57]. [Pg.72]
