In bone tissue regeneration, the use of biomineralized scaffolds to create the 3D porous structure needed for well-fitting with defect size and appropriate cell interactions, is a promising alternative to autologous and heterologous bone grafts. Biomineralized polyurethane (PU) foams are here investigated as scaffold for bone tissue regeneration. Biomineralization of the foams was carried out by activation of PU surface by a two steps procedure performed for different times (1 to 4 weeks). Scaffolds were investigated for morphological, chemico-physical and mechanical properties, as well as for in vitro interaction with rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs). Untreated and biomineralized PU samples showed a homogenous morphology and regular pore size (average Ø=407μm). Phase and structure of formed calcium phosphates (CaPs) layer onto the PU foam were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, proving the formation of bone-like nano hydroxyapatite. Biomineralization caused a significant increase of mechanical properties of treated foams compared to untreated ones. Biomineralization also affected the PU scaffold cytocompatibility providing a more appropriate surface for cell attachment and proliferation. Considering the obtained results, the proposed scaffold can be considered suitable for bone tissue regeneration.
