Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide66 composite tissue-engineering scaffolds with anisotropy in morphology and mechanical behaviors

Based on a biomimetic conception, nano‐hydroxyapatite ( n ‐HA)/polyamide66 (PA66) composite scaffolds were prepared with anisotropic properties both in morphology and mechanical behavior. A novel improved thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique was developed to generate orientation‐structured scaffolds for tissue engineering. The physiochemical, morphological, and mechanical properties of the resultant scaffolds were evaluated....
