RUIZ, Gilia C. M. Biomimetic formation of calcium phosphate on titanium surface using Langmuir-Blodgett films: influence of collagen incorporation into the matrices. 2015. 94 p. Dissertacao (Mestrado) Faculdade de Filosofia de Ciencias e Letras de Ribeirao Preto, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, 2015. The development potential of biomaterials for bone replacement is guided by the necessity to provide a surface that induces positive biological responses when the material is in contact with the host tissue. For this, it is necessary the study of the chemistry and surface composition and also to understand the physical properties and the structural organization of the natural system which is in contact with the biomaterial. Natural bone is composed by organic compounds, especially protein like collagen, reinforced with minerals, such as hydroxyapatite. The process by which the formation of the inorganic component takes place is named biomineralization. One way to introduce macromolecules in model systems for biomineralization studies is the formation of Langmuir monolayers, which are highly organized monomolecular layers of amphiphilic molecules adsorved at the liquid-air interface. These monolayers can be transferred to solid substrate to form the Langmuir-Blodgett films. In this study, it was investigated the incorporation of type-I collagen in insoluble Langmuir monolayers containing either 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) and their transference to titanium supports using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. These films were used as matrices to the growth of biomimetic hydroxyapatite by the exposure of the modified titanium discs to a solution that mimics the ions concentration and pH of the human blood plasma. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), vibrational spectroscopy in the infrared region (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Ca/P molar ratio was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The properties of the biomaterials as wettability, roughness, and surface free energy were also studied. The biocompatibility of the samples was studied in vitro using osteoblasts viability assays. The collagen interacts with the phospholipids at air/water interface as evidenced by the pressure surface-surface area isotherms obtained in the presence of the protein. Moreover, the stability of the Langmuir monolayers was increased when collagen is present at the subphase. The incorporation of collagen and phospholipids on the titanium surfaces is important to the formation of organized, continuous and uniform inorganic films composed by biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, similar to that found in the natural bone. These films are not toxic to osteoblasts as evidenced by the stimulation of their proliferation on the titaniummodified samples.
