Abstract
ABSTRACTChitosan/nanodiopside/nanohydroxyapatite (CS/nDP/nHAp) composite scaffolds were prepared from the mixture of chitosan, nDP, and nHAp in different inorganic/organic weight ratios by using the freeze-drying method. The prepared nHAp and composite scaffolds were investigated using BET, TG, FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and XRD techniques. The composite scaffolds had 50–85% porosities with interlinked porous networks. Moreover, investigation of the cell proliferation, adhesion, and viability using MTT test, and mouse preosteoblast cell proved the cytocompatibile nature of the composite scaffolds with improved cell attachment and proliferation. All these results essentially illustrated that this composite could be a potential for bone tissue engineering applications.
