Nanocomposite scaffolds of bioactive glass ceramic nanoparticles disseminated chitosan matrix for tissue engineering applications

A novel nanocomposite scaffold of chitosan (CS) and bioactive glass ceramic nanoparticles (nBGC) was prepared by blending nBGC with chitosan solution followed by lyophilization technique. The particle size of the prepared nBGC was found to be 100 nm. The prepared composite scaffolds were characterized using techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM...
