Study Notes
Bulk & Surface Properties of Biomaterials
- Biomaterials are substances used in medical implants
- Surface properties are critical for cell interaction, affecting initial response to implantation
- Bulk properties are important for long-term performance, such as mechanical properties during implantation
- Surface properties, such as roughness, wettability, and chemical composition, affect the interaction with cells, tissues, biofluids. Key factors include how cells interact, how foreign matter triggers a response, and how surfaces readily contaminate leading to implant failure
- Bulk properties, including mechanical properties, thermal properties, and electrochemical properties, are essential for long-term implant performance
- Specific mechanical loading situations (e.g., tensile, compression, shear, torsion, bending/flexure) are used to evaluate material behavior under different conditions and to determine parameters like tensile strength, stress at break, modulus, and strain
- Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is used to measure viscoelastic properties, such as storage modulus, loss modulus, and loss tangent, related to the temperature dependency
- Thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) measures changes in mass during heating, evaluating transition behavior
- Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures thermal transitions, identifying onset and peak temperatures during denaturation, important for estimating the temperature at which a polymer melts
- Wet state DSC is recommended for biomaterials for better in vivo reflection
- Surface properties such as wettability (measured via contact angle), and how deep the surface is are key
- Important methods for surface characterization include contact angles, XPS, Auger analysis, SIMS, FTIR-ATR, STM, SEM
- Multiple methods are available to examine surface properties and to predict how the interface will interact and affect the material
