Biodegradable polyphosphazene - hydroxyapatite composites for bone tissue engineering

The venture to fabricate potential and functional bone regeneration, annihilating the health complexities in conventional bone grafting, made Bone tissue engineering (BTE), which facilitates meticulous control of the spatial and temporal dissemination of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), receive incredible consideration in the past few years. Ascribable to their exceptional properties, polymers have gotten significant attention as one of the prominent classes of biomaterials for BTE. The compatible mechanical properties, biocompatibility, bioactivity, and biodegradability of polyphosphazene/hydroxyapatite composite made them candidates for functional bone regeneration. This review demonstrates the synthesis, properties, and application of polyphosphazenes, hydroxyapatite, and composite biomaterial for BTE.

Automated summary

Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a method that allows for precise control of cell and matrix dissemination, making it possible to fabricate materials with potential and functional bone regeneration. Polyphosphazene/hydroxyapatite composites have shown excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, bioactivity, and biodegradability, making them promising candidates for functional bone regeneration in BTE.
