Bone regeneration and replacement is a major focus in regenerative medicine since degenerative diseases and tumor surgery as well as accidents or dangerous recreational behavior is leading to an increasing need for bone reconstruction strategies. Especially for critical size bone defects, tissue engineering with mesenchymal stem cells is extensively studied because these cells are functioning as precursors for osteoblast in vivo. Nevertheless to reproduce the complex interaction of various factors in vitro is not an easy approach and further investigations have to be done. The status quo is summarized. A variety of growth and transcription factors are known to be involved in osteogenesis with bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and the transcription factor Runx2 being the most extensively studied ones. But also PPAR γ and Osterix are generally regarded as the master regulators of osteoblast differentiation. Recently the large family of purinergic receptors has proven to be essential molecules in osteogenesis as well. In addition, scaffolding is needed to create a three-dimensional tissue. Recent developments in scaffold design are summarized, including natural and synthetic materials with or without the use of bioactive molecules constructed to mimic the natural environment. The status quo of scaffold fabrication methods such as 3D nanoprinting and their influence on cell-scaffold interactions is discussed. In this review we summarize the most interesting results and our related work focusing on two joined approaches: 1) the complex interaction of the most promising factors improving or accelerating osteogenic differentiation and ii) the development of scaffold materials with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties.
The ongoing miniaturization, multi-layer structure parts and hybrid parts require methods to determine mechanical properties on a micro-scale. However, there is a gap in measuring techniques. On one hand there are the classical methods to measure hardness e.g. VICKERS, ROCKWELL, UNIVERSAL, IRHD etc having resolutions typically above 100μm. On the other hand there are well-developed AFM methods that allow for the determination of mechanical properties in the nanometer range. This paper describes an indentation technique that yields data of mechanical properties in the micrometer range between typically 5 to 50 μm. The measuring device and the data evaluation is presented. Results of micro-mechanical mapping are shown for NR-SBR rubber interfaces, a fuel tank and a part manufactured by two component injection moulding. Finally, the measured micro-mechanical stiffness is compared to the YOUNG’s modulus of the corresponding materials.

Nachhaltigkeitskonzepte sind kein selbstverständlicher Gegenstand der chemischen Hochschulausbildung. Der vorliegende Text fragt nach den Ursachen und zeigt anschließend Anschlussflächen für das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der Chemieausbildung. Er stellt ein fachübergreifendes und zugleich fachbezogenes Konzept vor, welches Nachhaltigkeit zum Gegenstand für Chemiestudierende macht. Dieses ermöglicht den Studierenden einen subjektiv bedeutsamen Zugang zu den Fachinhalten. Es fördert Bewertungskompetenzen und Verantwortungsfähigkeit, schult die Sprachgewandtheit und erleichtert methodisch geführt die Reflexion auf Gegenstand und Selbstverständnis.
