Abstract
In this study, a bio-composite scaffold containing chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite/nano-silver particles (CS/nHAp/nAg) was developed by freeze drying technique, followed by introduction of silver ions in controlled amount through reduction phenomenon by functional groups of chitosan. The scaffolds were characterized using SEM, FT-IR, XRD, swelling, and biodegradation studies. The testing of the prepared scaffolds with Gram-positive and...
