Potential of an electrospun composite scaffold of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)-chitosan/alumina nanowires in bone tissue engineering applications

The choice of material types for tissue engineering scaffolds and the design of methods are contributive in yielding the proper result. In this study, 1–5% wt. Alumina nanowires are added to (Polyhydroxybutyrate-Chitosan) PHB-CTS alloy solution, and the scaffolds are prepared by electrospinning method. The fiber diameters, porosity percentages and uniform distribution of Alumina nanowires are assessed by SEM, EDS and TEM. The surface roughness...
