Biodegradable Polymer-Based Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Abstract
This chapter reports the emulsion freezing/freeze-drying technique for the formation of three-dimensional porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), which is a natural, biodegradable polymer, was used as the main polymer for fabricating various tissue engineering scaffolds. Nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HA), a widely used bioceramic, was incorporated in the scaffolds in order to...
