Chitosan-hybrid poss nanocomposites for bone regeneration: The effect of poss nanocage on surface, morphology, structure and in vitro bioactivity

POSS, regarded as the smallest silica particle, is widely used as nanofiller in polymer systems. POSS-based nanocomposites are deduced as novel materials having potency for biomedical applications owing to the enhanced biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this work was to integrate the beneficial features of chitosan (CS) and OctaTMA-POSS nanoparticle to design nanocomposite for bone tissue regeneration. The...
