Abstract

A precipitation process of the calcium phosphates from precursors on a biopolymeric matrix based on chitosan, collagen, sodium hyaluronate, containing magnetic nanoparticles has been used to achieve porous magnetic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Porosity is one of the most important properties of a scaffold manufactured for applications in bone tissue engineering and regeneration and has been studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Fourier Transform Infrared Microscopy (FTIR) has been used to study the chemical structure of the scaffolds. The porosity of the scaffolds influences the retention of simulated body fluids, in vitro degradation and also in vitro biocompatibility.
