Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Nanocomposite hydrogels are biomimetic materials with good biocompatibility and bone conductive properties and are widely used in bone tissue engineering.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the classification of nanoparticles and the application of nanocomposite hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.

METHODS: The literatures published in the CNKI, PubMed, and Web of science from 2000 to 2019 were searched by computer. The key words were “Nanocomposites; Bone Tissue Engineering; Nanoparticle; Hydrogels”. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 69 articles were included for final analysis.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Nanoparticles currently used as nanofillers mainly include carbon-based nanoparticles, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, and calcium phosphate-based


nanoparticles. (2) The combination of nanoparticles and hydrogels can improve the mechanical properties of hydrogels. (3) Nanocomposite hydrogels can promote the adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of seed cells and thus be applied to bone tissue engineering. (4) At present, the application of nanocomposite hydrogels in bone tissue engineering still has some problems such as weak dispersion of nanoparticles, low vascularization capacity in bone tissue engineering, and the difficulty in the control of degradation rate.
