摘要：
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been intensively explored as the next-generation of metallic bone substitutes in the past decades, but their rapid corrosion rate in physiological environments is still a great hindrance for further therapeutic applications. In this talk, I will first introduce our recent work in designing the biodegradable poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) coatings on pure Mg substrates (99.99 wt.%) with tunable surface morphologies through dip-coating in combination with mixed non-solvent induced phase separation (Dip-coating-mNIPS) method to regulate the corrosion behavior and biocompatibility. By using the mixtures of solvents, we obtained PLLA coatings with different pore sizes and morphologies. We further developed the bilayer membrane consists of a selective-permeable microporous layer and a struvite-nanowire-laden fibrous layer. The synthesized struvite nanowires are co-electrospun with the biodegradable PCL, to produce ceramic–polymer composite fibers. We demonstrated that the bilayer membranes promoted regenerative outcome in the repair of the rat calvarial defects, showing the enhanced osteogenesis and the magnified new bone formation, which signifies the key beneficial role of the struvite nanowires in guided bone regeneration process.
