| dc.description.abstract | In the engineering of various tissues, the scaffold
material and architecture of the scaffold can affect cell seeding
and tissue growth both in vitro and in vivo. This paper reports
the production of three-dimensional, highly porous tissue
engineering scaffolds based on Poly (hydroxybutyrate-cohydroxyvalerate)
(PHBV) biopolymers. Polyhydroxybutyrateco-
hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) is a biocompatible and
biodegradable polymer that can be used in tissue engineering.
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is osetoconductive and is being used for
bone replacement. The composite scaffolds made of these two
materials have great potential for bone tissue engineering. This
paper reports the fabrication and characterization of threedimensional,
highly porous HA/PHBV composite scaffolds.
The scaffolds were produced using an emulsion freezing /
freeze-drying technique. The structure and properties of
composite scaffolds were investigated using various
techniques. | en_US |
