Abstract

When carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stability of the bone tissue affects the formation of bones are important issues. There is also a lot of attention to the impact of CNTs on the bone. CNTs can be considered as osteoproductive material in terms of bone regeneration, which can produce both intracellular and extracellular cell response on the material surface, which is beneficial in bone regeneration as they facilitate rapid production of bone integration. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have excellent compatibility with bone tissue and help to repair the bone by accelerating its growth. In addition, CNTs are closely integrated without toxic effect in the grown bone. Such results will encourage the design of modalities of clinical treatment involving CNTs. Our previous studies also showed that the MWCNTs/ chitosan/TiO2 nanocomposite manufactured through the technique of solvent evaporation improved implanted material resorption and increased proliferation of bone cells.
