Bioactive behavior of mesoporous silica particle (MCM‐41) coated bioactive glass‐based scaffolds

A complete characterization of a novel family of multifunctional bioactive glass (45S5 composition) (BG)‐based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering is presented. Scaffolds were developed via replication method of polyurethane packaging foam and natural marine sponge “ Spongia Agaricina ”. In order to increase the therapeutic functionality, the scaffolds were coated with mesoporous silica particles (MCM‐41), which can act as drug delivery...
