Research progress in electroactive polymer materials for bone tissue regeneration
Natural bone tissue has piezoelectric properties,and reconstruction of the local electrical microenvironment at the defect site is an effective strategy to stimulate bone regeneration.Using electroactive polymer materials to prepare bone tissue engineering scaffolds can imitate the piezoelectric properties of bone tissue,repair the physiological electrical microenvironment at the defect,and then promote bone tissue regeneration and repair.This article categorized and intro-duced several types of electroactive polymer materials,including conductive polymers,piezoelectric polymers,and elec-tret polymer materials.It summarized their research progress in the field of bone tissue repair and analyzed the advantag-es and challenges of different materials.
