This thesis identifies how the printing conditions for a high-resolution additive manufacturing technique, melt electrowriting (MEW), needs to be adjusted to process electroactive polymers (EAPs) into microfibers. Using EAPs based on poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF), their ability to be MEW-processed is studied and expands the list of processable materials for this technology.
The focus of this thesis was to investigate how PCL and PLGA react to the heat exposure that comes with the MEW process over a defined timespan.
To assess the thermal stability of PCL during MEW over 25 d, an automated collection of fibers has been used to determine the CTS on each day of heating for three different temperatures. PCL is exceptionally stable over 25 d at 75 °C, whereas for 85 °C and 95 °C a slight upward trend during the last 10 d could be observed, which is an indication for thermal degradation. Same trend could be observed for diameter of fibers produced at a fixed collector speed. For all temperatures, CTS during the first 5 d decreased due to inhomogeneities of the melt. Physical analysis of the fibers by XRD and mechanical testing showed no significant changes.
To investigate the chemical details of the thermal durability, PCL was artificially aged over 25 d at 75 °C, 85 °C and 95 °C. Data from GPC analysis and rheology revealed that PCL is degrading steadily at all three temperatures. Combined with GC-MS analysis, two different mechanisms for degradation could be observed: random chain scission and unzipping. Additional GPC experiment using a mixture of PCL and a fluorescence labelled PCL showed that PCL was undergoing ester interchange reactions, which could explain its thermal stability.
PLGA was established successfully as material for MEW. GPC results revealed that PLGA degraded heavily in the one-hour preheating period. To reduce the processing temperature, ATEC was blended with PLGA in three mixtures. This slowed down degradation and a processing window of 6 h could be established. Mechanical testing with fibers produced with PLGA and all three blends was performed. PLGA was very brittle, whereas the blends showed an elastic behavior. This could be explained by ester interchange reactions that formed a loosely crosslinked network with ATEC.
This thesis aimed the development of a correlated device which combines FluidFM® with Fluorescence Microscopy (FL) (FL-FluidFM®) and enables the simultaneous quantification of adhesion forces and fluorescent visualization of mature cells. The implementation of a PIFOC was crucial to achieve a high-resolution as well as a stable but dynamic focus level. The functionality of SCFS after hardware modification was verified by comparing two force-curves, both showing the typical force progression and measured with the optimized and conventional hardware, respectively. Then, the integration of FL was examined by detaching fluorescently labeled REF52 cells. The fluorescence illumination of the cytoskeleton showed the expected characteristic force profile and no evidence of interference effects. Afterwards a corresponding correlative data analysis was addressed including manual force step fitting, the identification of visualized cellular unbinding, and a time-dependent correlation. This procedure revealed a link between the area of cytoskeletal unbinding and force-jumps. This was followed by a comparison of the detachment characteristics of intercellular connected HUVECs and individual REF52 cells. HUVECs showed maximum detachment forces in the same order of magnitude as the ones of single REF52 cells. This contrasted with the expected strong cohesiveness of endothelial cells and indicated a lack of cell-cell contact formation. The latter was confirmed by a comparison of HUVECs, primary HBMVECs, and immortalized EA.hy926 cells fluorescently labeled for two marker proteins of intercellular junctions. This unveiled that both the previous cultivation duration and the cell type have a major impact on the development of intercellular junctions. In summary, the correlative FL FluidFM® represents a powerful novel approach, which enables a truly contemporaneous performance and, thus, has the potential to reveal new insights into the mechanobiological properties of cell adhesion.
Der steigende Bedarf an Knochenersatzmaterialien (KEM) in Medizin und Zahnmedizin verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit der Etablierung weiterer alloplastischer, also synthetisch hergestellter, KEMs. Additive Fertigung ermöglicht die Herstellung patientenspezifischer Implantate. Hierfür wird auf Basis von 3D Bildgebung eines Knochendefekts, ein Implantat mittels CAD geplant und anschließend mittels additiver Fertigung, zum Beispiel durch 3D Pulverdruck hergestellt.
Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Untersuchung des osteogenen Potentials in vitro von Calciummagnesiumphosphatkeramiken mit der allgemeinen Strukturformel CaxMg(3-x)(PO4)2 mit x = 0; 0,25; 0,75; 1,5; 3 aus additiver Fertigung. Hierfür wurden Prüfkörper mittels 3D Pulverdruck gedruckt, anschließend durch Hochtemperatursinterung verfestigt und durch Behandlung mit reaktiven Lösungen nachgehärtet. Abhängig von der reaktiven Lösung wandelte sich die Keramik teilweise in Struvit, Bruschit und Newberyit um. Die biologische Testung in vitro erfolgte mit hFOB 1.19 Zellen und ergab eine gute Biokompatibilität sowie die Ausdifferenzierung osteogener Progenitorzellen für fast alle Keramikphasen, wobei die newberyithaltigen Keramiken tendenziell bessere Ergebnisse erzielten.
As a major component of the articular cartilage extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid is a widely used biomaterial in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. According to its well-known interaction with multiple chondrocyte surface receptors which positively affects many cellular pathways, some approaches by combining mesenchymal stem cells and hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels are already driven in the field of cartilage regeneration and fat tissue. Nevertheless, a still remaining major problem is the development of the ideal matrix for this purpose. To generate a hydrogel for the use as a matrix, hyaluronic acid must be chemically modified, either derivatized or crosslinked and the resulting hydrogel is mostly shaped by the mold it is casted in whereas the stem cells are embedded during or after the gelation procedure which does not allow for the generation of zonal hierarchies, cell density or material gradients. This thesis focuses on the synthesis of different hyaluronic acid derivatives and poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinkers and the development of different hydrogel and bioink compositions that allow for adjustment of the printability, integration of growth factors, but also for the material and biological hydrogel, respectively bioink properties.
In kürzlich erschienenen Studien hat sich die Zementformulierung Baghdadit (Ca3ZrSi2O9) durch Eigenschaften wie eine hydraulische Aktivität, Röntgenopazität und bioaktive Wirkung als potenzielles Material für die endodontische Anwendung qualifiziert. Ziel dieser Studie war es, Baghdadit als einphasigen Biozement und in Form verschiedener Materialzusammensetzungen auf vorteilhafte Eigenschaften im Hinblick auf die Anwendung als endodontischen Funktionswerkstoff zu untersuchen. Nach eigenständiger Herstellung des mechanisch aktivierten Zementpulvers Ca3ZrSi2O9, erfolgte die Charakterisierung der verschiedenen Zementformulierungen maBag, Bag100Bru und Bag50Bru hinsichtlich der Injizierbarkeit, des pH-Verlaufs während der Abbindung, der Druckfestigkeit und Phasenzusammensetzung mittels XRD. Daneben wurde Baghdadit zu je drei verschiedenen Gewichtsanteilen als Füllstoff in eine Methacrylat-basierte Matrix integriert und hinsichtlich der Fließfähigkeit entsprechend der Norm DIN EN ISO 6876:2012, des qualitativen Polymerisationsgrads und der Druckfestigkeit geprüft. Mit einer Auswahl der oben genannten Materialien erfolgte die Untersuchung der antibakteriellen Wirksamkeit, der Röntgensichtbarkeit orientierend an der Norm DIN EN ISO 13116:2014 und der Dichtigkeit im Wurzelkanal.
Polymeric Janus Fibers
(2023)
Janus fibers are a class of composite materials comprising mechanical and chemical to biological functionality. Combining different materials and functionalities in one micro- or even nanoscale fiber enables otherwise unreachable synergistic physicochemical effects with unprecedented opportunities for technical or biomedical applications. Here, recent developments of processing technologies and applications of polymeric Janus fibers will be reviewed. Various examples in the fields of textiles, catalysis, sensors as well as medical applications, like drug delivery systems, tissue engineering and antimicrobial materials, are presented to illuminate the outstanding potential of such high-end functional materials for novel applications in the upcoming future.
Zelluläre Resorption 3D-gedruckter Knochenimplantate auf Basis von Calciummagnesiumphosphaten
(2023)
Für die Behandlung von Knochendefekten kritischer Größe gibt es heute eine Reihe von Therapiemöglichkeiten. Neuartige Ansätze mit Magnesiumphosphat- (MPC) und Calciummagnesiumphosphatzementen (CMPC) haben sich als echte Alternativen zu den etablierten Calciumphosphaten erwiesen.
Ziel war es, die Osteoklastogenese in vitro auf 3D-pulvergedrucktem CMPC und MPC zu induzieren und die zelluläre Resorption (zR) zu analysieren. Polystyrol (PS), Glas, β-TCP und Brushit-bildender Zement dienten als Referenzen.
Als Proben wurden Zemente der allgemeinen stöchiometrischen Summenformel CaxMg(3–x)(PO4)2 (x = 0; 0,25; 0,75; 3) verwendet, die Struvit oder Newberyit enthielten. Für die Osteoklastogenese wurden monozytenangereicherte PBMCs aus Buffy-Coat mittels dreifacher Dichtegradientenzentrifugation isoliert, auf die Prüfoberflächen ausgesät und über einen Zeitraum von 22 Tagen mit Zytokinen (M-CSF und RANKL) stimuliert. Die Interaktion der Zellen mit den Zementen bzw. PS/Glas wurde mittels TRAP-Färbung und -Aktivität, DNA- und Ionenkonzentrationen (Ca2+, Mg2+, PO43–, pH-Wert), Rasterelektronen-, Durchlicht-, Auflicht- und Fluoreszenzmikroskopie analysiert.
Auf den Struvit- und Newberyit-bildenden Zementen konnten keine für Osteoklasten typischen Riesenzellen nachgewiesen werden. Auf den Struvit-bildenden Zementen wurde deutlich mehr mononukleäre Zellen nachgewiesen wurden als auf den Newberyit-bildenden Zementen. Während die Freisetzung von Mg2+ und PO43– ausschließlich durch die chemische Degradation erfolgte, wurde Ca2+ zunächst adsorbiert und anschließend durch zR freigesetzt. Die erhöhte Ca2+-Adsorption im Vergleich zur Ca2+-Resorption führte insgesamt zu einer Calcium-Präzipitation.
Da lediglich auf β-TCP Resorptionslakunen beobachtet wurden, wird angenommen, dass auf den CMPC, MPC und Brushite-bildenden Zementen die zellvermittelte Ca2+-Freisetzung von den Präzipitaten ausging, die von Makrophagen auf den Zementen und/oder Riesenzellen auf den Wellplatten resorbiert wurden.
Mineral biocements are brittle materials, which usually results in catastrophic failure during mechanical loading. Here, previous works demonstrated the feasibility of reducing brittleness by a dual-setting approach, in which a silica sol was simultaneously gelled during the setting of a brushite forming cement. The current thesis aimed at further improving this concept by both using a novel silicate based cement matrix for an enhanced bonding between cement and silica matrix as well as multifunctional silica precursors to increase the network density of the gel. Due to its well-known biocompatibility and osteogenic regeneration capacity, baghdadite was chosen as mineral component of such composites. This required in a first approach the conversion of baghdadite ceramics into self-setting cement formulations. This was investigated initially by using baghdadite as reactive filler in a brushite forming cement (Chapter 4). Here, the ß-TCP component in a equimolar mixture of ß-TCP and acidic monocalcium phosphate anhydrous was subsequently replaced by baghdadite at various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 wt%) to study the influence on physicochemical cement properties such as mechanical performance, radiopacity, phase composition and microstructure. X-ray diffraction profiles demonstrated the dissolution of baghdadite during the cement reaction without affecting the crystal structure of the precipitated brushite phase. In addition, EDX analysis showed that calcium is homogeneously distributed in the cement matrix, while zirconium and silicon form cluster-like aggregates ranging in size from a few micrometers to more than 50 µm. X-ray images and µ-CT analyses indicate improved X-ray visibility with increased incorporation of baghdadite in brushite cement, with an aluminum equivalent thickness nearly doubling at a baghdadite content of 50 wt%. At the same time, the compressive strength of brushite cement increased from 12.9 ± 3.1 MPa to 21.1 ± 4.1 MPa at a baghdadite content of 10 wt%. Cell culture medium conditioned with powdered brushite cement approached physiological pH values when increasing amounts of baghdadite were added to the cement (pH = 6.47 for pure brushite, pH = 7.02 for brushite with 20 wt% baghdadite substitution). Baghdadite substitution also affected the ion content in the culture medium and thus the proliferation activity of primary human osteoblasts in vitro. The results demonstrated for the first time the suitability of baghdadite as a reactive cement additive for improving the radiopacity, mechanical performance, and cytocompatibility of brushite cements.
A second approach (Chapter 5) aimed to produce single component baghdadite cements by an increase of baghdadite solubility to initiate a self-setting cement reaction. For this, the material was mechanically activated by longer grinding times of up to 24h leading to both a decrease in particle and crystallite size as well as a partial amorphization of baghdadite. Baghdadite cements were formed by adding water at a powder to liquid ratio of 2.0 g/ml. Maximum compressive strengths were determined to be ~2 MPa after 3 days of setting for a 24-hour ground material. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements showed an incongruent dissolution profile of the set cements, with preferential dissolution of calcium and only minor release of zirconium ions. Cement formation occurs under alkaline conditions, with the unground raw powder resulting in a pH of 11.9 during setting, while prolonged grinding increases the pH to about 12.3.
Finally, mechanically activated baghdadite cements were combined with inorganic silica networks (Chapter 6) to create dual-setting cements with a further improvement of mechanical performance. While a modification of the cement pastes with a TEOS derived sol was already thought to improve strength, it was hypothesized that using multi-arm silica precursors can further enhance their mechanical performance due to a higher network density. In addition, this should also reduce pore size of both gels and cement and hence will be able to adjust the release kinetics of incorporated drugs. For this, multi-armed silica precursors were synthesized by the reaction of various multivalent alcohols (ethylene glycol, glycerine, pentaerythrit) with an isocyanate modified silica precursor. After hydrolysis under acidic conditions, the sols were mixed with baghdadite cement powders in order to allow a simultaneous gel formation and cement setting. Since the silica monomers have a high degree of linkage sites, this resulted in a branched network that interpenetrated with the growing cement crystals. In addition to minor changes in the crystalline phase composition as determined by X-ray diffraction, the novel composites exhibited improved mechanical properties with up to 20 times higher compressive strength and further benefit from an about 50% lower overall porosity than the reference pure baghdadite cement. In addition, the initial burst release of the model drug vancomycin was completely inhibited by the added silica matrix. This observation was verified by testing for the antimicrobial activity with Staphylococcus aureus by measuring the inhibition zones of selected samples after 24 h and 48 h, whereas the antimicrobial effectiveness of a constant vancomycin release could be demonstrated.
The current thesis clearly demonstrated the high potential of baghdadite as a cement formulation for medical application. The initially poor mechanical properties of such cements can be overcome by special processing techniques or by combination with silica networks. The achieved mechanical performance is > 10 MPa and hence suitable for bone replacement under non-load bearing conditions. The high intrinsic radiopacity as well as the alkaline pH during setting may open the way ahead to further dental applications, e.g. as root canal sealers or filler in dental composites. Here, the high pH is thought to lead to antimicrobial properties of such materials similar to commonly applied calcium hydroxide or calcium silicates, however combined with an intrinsic radiopacity for X-ray imaging. This would simplify such formulations to single component materials which are less susceptible to demixing processes during transport, storage or processing.
Heutige chirurgische Situationen können zeitweise den Einsatz eines Knochenkleber erfordern, welcher sich jedoch noch nicht in der klinischen Praxis etablieren konnte. In jüngster Vergangenheit haben mit Phosphoserin modifizierte Zemente (PMC) auf der Grundlage von Verbindungen zwischen o-Phosphoserin (OPLS) und Calciumphosphaten wie Tetracalciumphosphat (TTCP) oder α-Tricalciumphosphat (α-TCP) an Popularität gewonnen. Ebenso bekommen chelatbildende Magnesiumphosphatzemente als mineralische Knochenadhäsive mehr Zuspruch. In dieser Arbeit wurden neue mineralorganische Knochenzemente auf der Basis von Phosphoserin und Magnesiumphosphaten oder -oxiden untersucht, die hervorragende Hafteigenschaften besitzen. Diese wurden mittels Röntgenbeugung, Fourier-Infrarot-Spektroskopie und Elektronenmikroskopie analysiert und mechanischen Tests unterzogen, um die Haftfestigkeit am Knochen nach Alterung unter physiologischen Bedingungen zu bestimmen. Die neuartigen biomineralischen Klebstoffe zeigen eine ausgezeichnete Haftfestigkeit an Knochen mit etwa 6,6-7,3 MPa unter Scherbelastung. Die Adhäsive sind auch aufgrund ihres kohäsiven Versagensmusters und ihres duktilen Charakters vielversprechend. In diesem Zusammenhang sind die neuen adhäsiven Zemente den derzeit vorherrschenden Knochenadhäsiven überlegen. Ergänzend wurde versucht, dieses neue System mit unterschiedlichen Additiven zu modifizieren. Dabei wurde Mannit erfolgreich als Porogen verwendet. Dreiarmiges sternförmiges NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO) sollte die adhäsiven Eigenschaften und das Leistungspotenzial unter Wasser verbessern. Zuletzt wurden mit Glycerol präfabrizierte Pasten hergestellt, welche gelagert werden können und bei Kontakt mit Wasser aushärten. Generell ist zu betonen, dass künftige Bemühungen um Knochenklebstoffe aus Phosphoserin und Mg2+ sehr lohnenswert erscheinen.
