Porous Materials of Hydroxyapatite/biopolymers Nanocomposites through Self-organization

Abstract

With the advent of new treatment of tissue repairs, tissue engineering is one of the key technologies. There are three important factors; scaffold, mechanical stimulation and biochemical factor. In this study, we have developed porous materials of hydroxyapatite, polysaccharides and collagens nanocomposites as a novel scaffold in which the nanostructures were controlled through self-organization processes. The porous materials of the nanocomposites have the pore diameter of 200-300mm and a good biocompatibility to human chondrocytes.
