New developments in solid phase synthesis supports.

Abstract

Developments in solid phase synthesis supports for the end of 1996 and much of 1997 are reviewed. Issues regarding support induced impurities and enhancing solid phase reaction rates are also discussed.

Characterization of wollastonite-reinforced HAp--Ca polycarboxylate composites.

The effects of wollastonite on the mechanical properties and in vitro behavior of hydroxyapatite-Ca polyacrylate composites were studied. Powder mixtures of tetracalcium phosphate, poly(acrylic-co-itaconic), and wollastonite fibers (< or =75% by weight) were hot-pressed for 30 min at 300 degrees C and 60 kpsi. Tensile strengths, elastic moduli, and microstructures of the composites were investigated. The tensile strengths of these composites were improved by the addition of wollastonite fibers, whereas the elastic moduli decreased. The highest value of tensile strength (approximately 155 MPa) was achieved by the addition of 40% wollastonite. Composites were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 14 days and then in 1.5 SBF for a week. The changes in the concentrations of Ca, Si, and P ions and the pH of these solutions indicate bioactivity. An evaluation of the microstructures of the composites after SBF immersion indicated that apatite layers had formed on the surfaces of the composites.

The influence of vacuum mixing on methylmethacrylate liberation from acrylic cement powder.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a biomaterial used to anchor prostheses during joint replacement surgery. Residual methylmethacrylate monomer (MMA) may be related with the cytotoxic effect of PMMA. The aim of the present paper was to investigate the effect of two different cement mixing methods: hand stirring at atmospheric pressure and under partial vacuum (0.330 and 0.154 bar) on residual monomer liberation in phosphate buffer saline solution from acrylic cement powder. Residual MMA content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Mathematical models were applied to experimental dissolution data revealing that monomer release was significantly reduced in bone cement powder obtained at 0.154 bar vacuum pressure compared to the other mixing conditions. The kinetic models applied are consistent with a simple diffusion mechanism of the monomer from the polymer matrix.

AAc photografted porous polycabonate films and its controlled release system.

The AAc grafted porous PC film was prepared by simultaneous UV irradiation and the pH sensitivity of the grafted films was investigated with the simple controlled release device designed by the authors. The grafted porous PC films showed remarkable pH sensitivity and can be reused after proper treatment.
