Abstract:

Magnesium phosphate was prepared through coprecipitation method, and biocomposite containing magnesium phosphate(MP), polybutylene succinate (PBS) and wheat protein (WP) was fabricated. In vitro degradability, bioactivity and cell responses to MP/PBS/WP composite were investigated. The results showed that the pH value changed from 7.4 to 7.51 after the MP/PBS/WP composite being soaked in Tris-HCl buffer solution for 10 d. The weight loss of the composite reached 58.43wt% after soaking for 12 w. Apatite layer could form on the composite surfaces after soaking in SBF solution for 10 d, indicating good bioactivity. In addition, the MP/PBS/WP composite could promote proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. All data from this study show that the MP/PBS/WP composite has good degradability, bioactivity and cytocompatibility, showing a potential to be used as a new biomaterial for bone repair.
