Abstract: | The multifunctional strontium (Sr)-substituted hydroxyapatite microsphere was prepared via hydrothermal method, in which the luminescent and controlled drug release functions can be realized. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared microspheres were studied by using XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, BET method. The optical properties was investigated by using photoluminescence (PL) and XPS measurement. Then, the as-prepared multifunctional microspheres were performed as a drug delivery carrier using vancomycin as a model drug. The experimental results show that the composition, morphology, luminescent properties and drug storage/release behaviour were obviously influenced by the amount of Sr. The microspheres with Sr2+/(Ca2+ + Sr2+) = 0.3 of Sr substitution showed the maximum specific surface area, best pore structure and strongest PL intensity. All the samples presented remarkable sustained drug release kinetics. In addition, the PL intensity of SrHA in the drug delivery system increased with the cumulative release time (amount) of vancomycin, which would make the drug release might be possibly tracked by the change of the luminescent intensity. Our study indicated a potential prospect that the fabricated multifunctional SrHA mesoporous microspheres might be applied in the field of bone regeneration and drug delivery. |
