Summary: | Highly-oriented homogeneous collagen (Col) fibril arrays were successfully fabricated on a rubbed polyimide (PI) film for precipitating calcium phosphate (CP). The surface functional groups of PI were aligned using the rubbing treatment, where the C&z.dbd;O bonds in imide groups had transition moments perpendicular to the rubbing direction and the C&z.dbd;C (benzene rings), C-N and C-O-C bonds had transition moments parallel to the rubbing direction. After the Col molecular solution was spin-coated and self-assembled on the rubbed PI film, the Col fibrils parallel to the rubbing direction with an orientation ratio of 68 to 91% and a density of 121 ± 7 to 225 ± 22 number per mm were successfully formed on the rubbed PI film, indicating the occurrence of the interfacial interactions between the PI and Col molecules. Moreover, the carboxyl groups (-COOH) on the Col fibrils were used as the CP nucleation sites for Ca

ion adsorption, and subsequently the nucleation of CP was promoted by immersing the Col fibrils into a simulated body fluid. Specifically, the CP crystals were effectively precipitated on the Col fibrils and plate-like CP crystals were formed along the direction of Col fibril arrays. Therefore, this provides an effective method for the fabrication of one-directional Col fibril arrays as well as CP/Col fibrous nanostructures using a biomimetic process.
