Advancing Octacalcium Phosphate-Based Scaffolds for Segmental Bone Repair (No. 1.1.1.9/LZP/2/25/245)

This project will produce interdisciplinary data in materials science, chemistry, and cell biology arising from the development and evaluation of ready-to-use injectable octacalcium phosphate (OCP)-forming cement biomaterials for bone repair. The data will support optimization of the cement formulation and assessment of key performance parameters, including injectability, anti-washout resistance, setting behavior, porosity, degradation, and biocompatibility. Types of data generated Formulation data: composition parameters (liquid type and concentration, solid/liquid ratio), mixing conditions, syringe/needle specifications. Characterization data: XRD (phase composition), FTIR (structural analysis), Gillmore needle (setting time), SEM (morphology), rheometry/mechanical testing (injectability and viscoelastic properties), cohesion/anti-washout assays, mass loss (degradation), and surface wettability measurements. Biological data: in vitro biocompatibility and cell–material interaction results. Documentation: experimental protocols, raw and processed data, instrument output files, images, and statistical analyses.
