Preparation and evaluation of porous alginate/ hydroxyapatite composite scaffold coated with a biodegradable triblock copolymer

Background: null The scaffolds for bone tissue engineering must meet the functional requirements such as porosity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Composite materials could improve mechanical properties compared with polymers, and structural integrity and flexibility compared with brittle ceramics. null null Objective: null The effect of a biodegradable triblock copolymer in the cell attachment into the alginate/hydroxyapatite composite...
