Possible Interaction: Calcium Phosphate and Gelatin

“Many studies have found that the use of calcium phosphate ceramics and diverse synthetic polymers in combination with gelatin improve the mechanical properties of the structures.”

“Overall, adding gelatin to the composition of CPC improved the handling characteristics such as setting time and mechanical properties, enhanced nanoapatite precipitation, and augmented the early cell proliferation rate and ALP activity.”

“The remarkable improvement of the setting properties of the calcium phosphate cement due to the presence of gelatin suggest that the biomimetic composite material could be successfully applied as bone substitute.”

“The pH of gelation was higher in all dialyzed samples compared with the heated control milk, and the gelation pH was higher with an increase in CCP content.”

“In conclusion, this study demonstrates that gelatin type influences the degradation of gelatin microparticles incorporated in CaP cements.”

“It was also demonstrated that the incorporation of gelatin promoted nucleation and growth of calcium phosphate.”

“It is concluded that the presence of gelatin improved mechanical properties of CPCs ; in particular, 2 wt.% gelatin.”

“The optimal flexural strength enhancement was obtained when CPC was reinforced with fiber at volume fraction of 30% and gelatin at mass fraction of 5% (maximum: 12.31 MPa).”

“RESULTS Ge atin so lutions changed the performance of CPC . ”

“The results of this study demonstrated that the multi-sized porous β-tricalcium phosphate scaffold coated by gelatin enhanced the mechanical and biological strengths.”
