Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic biodegradable polymer with excellent mechanical properties. TiO2 (titanium dioxide) has a hydrophilic, high density and excellent biocompatibility. In this work, we produced three-dimensional porous scaffolds with PCL and TiO2 nanoparticles using a salt-leaching method. Physical properties of the scaffolds were analyzed by FE-SEM, FTIR, TGA and compressive strength. Interestingly, the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles decreased the water absorption and swelling ratio of the porous scaffolds. However, the compressive strength was increased by TiO2. CCK-8 assay, which is generally used for the analysis of cell growth, shows that TiO2 nanoparticles have no cytotoxicity. Taken together, we suggest that the PLC/TiO2-scaffold can be used for biomedical applications.

Polycaprolactone(PCL)은 생분해성 고분자로 인장강도, 신장률, 충격강도 등의 기계적 물성이 우수하다. TiO2 (titanium dioxide) nanoparticle은 친수성으로 밀도가 높고 생체적합성이 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 PCL과 TiO2(titanium dioxide) nanoparticle을 이용하여 salt-leaching방법으로 3차원 다공성 지지체를 제작하였다. 제작한 지지체를 FESEM, FTIR, TGA, 압축강도 측정 등을 통해 물성을 분석하였다. TiO2 nanoparticle에 의해 물흡수도와 팽윤도는 감소하였으나 압축강도는 증가하였다. CCK-8 assay를 통해 세포의 증식률을 확인한 결과, TiO2 nanoparticle에 의한 세포 독성은 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 PCL/TiO2 nanoparticle 지지체의 생체재료로 사용가능성을 제시하였다.

Keywords: PCL; TiO2 nanoparticle; scaffold; salt-leaching.
