Fabrication of Tissue Engineering Scaffold from Hydroxyapatite/Alginate Composite

Scaffolds for bone tissue engineering must meet the functional requirements, porosity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this study, hydroxyapatite was prepared by wet chemical method and incorporated into the alginate gel solution to improve both the mechanical and cell-attachment properties of the scaffolds. Next, composite scaffolds were fabricated from hydroxyapatite/alginate with different weight ratios by freeze drying method and...
