Abstract
The disclosure provides bone-mimetic mineral/polymer composite materials useful for formation of artificial bone grafts and for bone tissue engineering. The disclosure provides a hydrogels, cryogels and macroporous compositions modified with varying lengths of anionic pendant side chains (CH2═CHCONH(CH2)nCOOH, where n=1 to 12).
Claims33
A composition comprising a hydrogel modified with amino acids having an anionic pendant side chain and having the general formula CH2═CHCONH(CH2)nCOOH, where n=1 to 12.
A macroporous composition comprising amino acids having an anionic pendant side chain and having the general formula CH2═CHCONH(CH2)nCOOH, where n=1 to 8.
