Abstract

In the realm of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, PMMA borate bioactive thin films have become a potential composite material. PMMA borate bioactive thin films are created, described, and possibly used in this paper. In order to add bioactivity and controlled drug release capabilities, borate bioactive glass was incorporated into a PMMA matrix to create the films. Both components had been well integrated, as shown by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), which showed a uniform distribution of bioactive glass within the PMMA matrix.The precise control over medication release made possible by the variable surface wettability of PMMA could be advantageous in applications for wound healing. The films displayed a steady release of bioactive ions, resulting in the ideal milieu for tissue regeneration and wound healing. PMMA and borate bioactive glass' biocompatibility and biodegradability greatly improved their applicability for biomedical applications.Although the study offered insightful information about the potential of PMMA borate bioactive thin films, more investigation is required to confirm their effectiveness and safety in clinical settings. PMMA borate bioactive thin films have the biomedical to advance tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by serving as a versatile and effective biomedical material that can be used to solve a variety of biomedical difficulties.
