Abstract
A novel composite coupling between nano-scaled hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles and poly[4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META)]-grafted silk fibroin (SF) through ionic interaction was synthesized. The weight gain of poly(4-META) by graft-polymerization increased with increasing the reaction time, eventually reaching a plateau value of about 20 wt%. The HAp nano-particles were adsorbed equally and dispersively on the treated SF fiber surface. The HAp content in the composite was 4.554 wt% ± 0.098 (n = 4), confirmed by thermogravimetry (TG). This synthetic system requires no heat to connect HAp to SF and is useful when applying to non-heat-resistant polymers. The L-929 cell-adhesion test shows that the HAp/SF composite improves bioactivity compared to the original SF.
