Synthesis, characterization and strengthening mechanism of modified and unmodified porous diopside/baghdadite scaffolds

In recent decades, porous silica-based bioceramic scaffolds have received great attention for treatment of bone defects. One of the main drawbacks of these scaffolds is their inherent brittle nature and high degradation rate. Recently, using bioactive and biodegradable polymer coatings on the surface of scaffolds improves their mechanical properties and the ability to control their degradation rate. In this work, highly porous...
