ABSTRACT
The hydroxyapatite (HAp; Ca10 (PO4 )6 (OH)2 )) has good biocompatibility, bioactivity, and osteoconductivity as a bone implant because the main inorganic mineral of human bone is HAp. The use of scaffold HAp from biogenic resources that contain high calcium and polymer as a pore forming agent to support bone growth is a longstanding area of interest. In this study, porous scaffolds based on HAp were synthesized from sand lobster (SL; Panulirus homarus) shells as a source of calcium using the porogen leaching method with polyethylene oxide (PEO) and chitosan (Chs) as polymeric porogen. The present study aims to synthesize HAp derived from SL shells and evaluate the effect variations of PEO on the physicochemical properties of the scaffold and cytotoxicity in cell viability assay. Briefly, the SL shell powder was calcinated with temperature variations of 600°C, 800°C, and 1000°C for 6 h. Based on the characterization, it was shown that 1000°C was the optimum calcination temperature for SL shells to synthesize HAp using the precipitation method. The characterization results of HAp using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) revealed that the molar ratio of Ca/P was 1.67. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD) spectral patterns indicated that HAp had been successfully synthesized with minor ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP), a calcium phosphate with high biocompatibility. Porous scaffolds were synthesized by varying the concentration of PEO at 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt %. Physicochemical analysis revealed that a higher concentration of PEO affected decreased crystallinity and compressive strength, but on the other hand, the porosity and pore sizes increased. Based on the physicochemical analysis, the synthesized porous scaffold showed that HAp/PEO/Chs 15 wt % had the most potential as a scaffold for biomedical applications. MTT Assay, after 24 h incubation, revealed that the scaffold was safe for use at low concentrations on the MC3T3E1 osteoblast cells, with a percentage of cell viability of 83.23 ± 3.18% at 23.4375 µg/mL. Although the cell viability decreased at higher concentrations, the HAp/PEO/Chs 15 wt % scaffold was cytocompatible with the cells. Thus, in the present study, HAp/PEO/Chs 15 wt % was the best scaffold based on pore structure, chemical composition, mechanical and crystalographic properties and cell viability.
