Biomaterials
What are they?• Substances other than food or drugs contained
in therapeutic or diagnostic systems that are in contact with tissue or biological fluids
Why use Biomaterials?• Improve patient’s quality of life by replacing a
defective body part with a substitute.• Physicians were limited to use off-the shelf
supplies.• Novel biodegradable polymers and modified
natural substances.

PGA, PLA, PLGA
![Page 11: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PGA, PLA, PLGA
• First synthesized by Dupont from Glycolic acid
• PGA, originally Dexon, absorbable suture
• 1963 Schmitt & Polistina Invents Biodegradable suture
• PLA & PLGA Drug delivery systems
![Page 12: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PGA, PLA, PLGA
• All polymers have low polydisparity index (PLA 1.6-1.9)
• Depending on structure, polymers can be fit for different applications
• Amorphous forms used in drug delivery systems
• Crystalline forms good for scaffolding, or sutures
![Page 13: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PGA, PLA, PLGA
• Two essentials in scaffolding: high surface to volume ratio, highly porous – Allows cells to easily proliferate for
setup of pathways – Setup of pathways for nutrients
![Page 14: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Polydimethylsiloxane
•“Silicon”
•Lubricants and Foaming agents
•Pacemakers and Vaccine Delivery systems
![Page 15: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Polydimethylsiloxane
• Discovered 1927, Dr. Frederick Stanley Kipping
• Vulcanized rubber, can’t be melted or dissolved
• Low glass transition• Produced by hydroxyl, groups through
hydrolysis, replace the 2 Cl in the monomer
• Ring opening polymerization, Higher MW
![Page 16: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Polydimethylsiloxane
• Used in treatment of prostate carcinoma
• Small biodegradable pellets (188 m) injected into area of body where needed.
• Smaller doses, less toxic effects for patient
![Page 17: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Polyethylene and PMMA

Polytetrafluoroethylene
• Excellent wear and fatigue resistance
• Vascular grafts patch injured and diseased areas of arteries
• Must be flexible to allow for the difficulties of implantation and to avoid adjacent tissue irritation
![Page 21: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Polyurethane
• Shoe soles, tires and foams• Thermoset, non-condensation step
growth• Low molecular weight polymer (47,000)• “Bridges” the gap between rubber and
plastic

Polyurethane
• One of the best load-bearing capacities• Discovered 1937, Otto Baker• Major medical uses Ventricular assist
device• Developed by Dr. Liotta, Baylor, 1950’s• Redefined by Pierce and Donachy in
1971
![Page 23: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Polyurethane
• VAD, used during open heart surgery, postoperatively and in case of extreme cardiac trauma
• Pierce and Donachy used segmented polyurethane in their VAD
• Safe contact barrier compressive properties made function similar to heart ventricle
![Page 25: PolymersInMedicine.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/5568e3f9d8b42a287a8b4c34/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Polyurethane
• Obtained through step-growth polymerization of diisocyanates and dihydroxl compounds
• Injection molded• R.I.M.• Failures attributed to poor
processing, not physical material properties

The Future
• Opportunities are limitless
• We as scientists and engineers are faced with big challenges
• Potential and promise are tremendous
