Vitamin e acetate addition to poly(d,l)lactic acid modifies its mechanical behavior without affecting biocompatibility / P. Pittarella, D. Antonioli, M. Rizzi, M. Laus, F. Reno'. - In: JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE. - ISSN 0021-8995. - 131:6(2014 Mar), pp. 39970.1-39970.7. [10.1002/app.39970]
Abstract:
Mechanical properties of poly(d,l)lactic acid films enriched with Vitamin E and Vitamin E Acetate (5–40% w/w) were investigated. The addition of both formulations resulted in increased polymer Young's modulus and tensile strength. Human foreskin fibroblasts and murine pre-osteoblasts were used to assess the biocompatibility of polymers. Pre-osteoblasts adhesion and proliferation were strongly decreased by Vitamin E, whereas Vitamin E Acetate did not alter cell proliferation. Collagen deposition was lower onto Vitamin E blended polymers than onto native and Vitamin E Acetate blended ones. Fibroblasts adhesion and proliferation were increased by both Vitamin E and Vitamin E Acetate addition.
