N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and
2,2-azoisobutyronitrile were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA) and were recrystallized prior to use from methanol and hexane, respectively.
Chitosan (molecular weight = 1.5 × 10
5 Da) and
2-morpholinoethane sulfonic acid (MES) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA).
N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and
1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) were
obtained from Acros Organics, Thermo Fisher Scientific (Geel, Belgium). Hyaluronic acid (HA) (molecular weight = 1.3 × 10
6 Da) was obtained from Bloomage Freda Biopharm Co. (Jinan, China).
Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM, Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and fetal bovine serums (FBS, HyClone, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were prearranged for cell culture. Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) microparticles (0.5–1 mm particle size) contained 60% (
w/
w) of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and 40% (
w/
w) hydroxyapatite (HAP) were provided by Berkeley Advanced Biomaterials, Inc. (San Leandro, CA, USA). CellTiter AQueous One Solution Reagent for cell proliferation assay was supplied by Promega Life Sciences (Madison, WI, USA).
