The interfacial pH of acidic degradable polymeric biomaterials and its effects on osteoblast behavior

Abstract A weak alkaline environment is established to facilitate the growth of osteoblasts. Unfortunately, this is inconsistent with the application of biodegradable polymer in bone regeneration, as the degradation products are usually acidic. In this study, the variation of the interfacial pH of p...
