To assist in bone defect repair, ideal bone regeneration scaffolds should exhibit good osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity, but for load-bearing applications, they should also have mechanical properties that emulate those of native bone. The use of biomimetic processing methods for the mineralization of collagen fibrils has resulted in interpenetrating composites that mimic the nanostructure of native bone; however, closely matching the mechanical properties of bone on a larger scale is something that is still yet to be achieved. In this study, four different collagen crosslinking methods (EDC-NHS, quercetin, methacrylated collagen, and riboflavin) are compared and combined with biomimetic mineralization via the polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) process, to obtain bone-like collagen-hydroxyapatite composites. Densified fibrillar collagen scaffolds were fabricated, crosslinked, and biomimetically mineralized using the PILP process, and the effect of each crosslinking method on the degree of mineralization, tensile strength, and modulus of the mineralized scaffolds were analyzed and compared. Improved modulus and tensile strength values were obtained using EDC-NHS and riboflavin crosslinking methods, while quercetin and methacrylated collagen resulted in little to no increase in mechanical properties. Decreased mineral contents appear to be necessary for retaining tensile strength, suggesting that mineral content should be kept below a percolation threshold to optimize properties of these interpenetrating nanocomposites. This work supports the premise that a combination of collagen crosslinking and biomimetic mineralization methods may provide solutions for fabricating robust bone-like composites on a larger scale.
