Description
Summary:Hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds produced by the accumulation of HA fibers were separately treated hydrothermally in three calcium phosphate solutions to form coatings of different micro/nano-structures. Different micro/nano-structure and morphologies have been regulated on the surface of treated HA scaffolds. Plate-like compromise flower-like morphology was obtained with solution 1 (Ca-sufficient) i.e., ratio: Ca/Ca=1%; Ca/P=1.67. Full coatings (flower-like) morphology treated after Cu-doped coating solution 2 (Cu/(Cu+Ca) = 5%; ratio: (Cu+Ca)/P = 1.67). Furthermore, partial coatings (flower-like) morphology fabricated with solution 3 (Ca-deficient and Cu-replacement), i.e., ratio: Ca/Ca=0.95%; Ca/P=1.58. The results showed the effect of hydrothermal coatings on HA scaffolds. Cultured human endothelial cells spread and proliferated better on the treated HA scaffolds than on the uncoated scaffolds, suggesting a potential effect of calcium phosphate surface morphology on endothelial cell response. Thus, it can provide an appropriate micro/nano-structure approach supporting angiogenesis capacity, which is a necessity to accelerate the time of bone healing and regeneration.
