Abstract

In this study, a nanofibrous poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffold reinforced by Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was fabricated using the thermally induced phase separation method. The composite scaffold morphology showed a nanofibrous PLLA matrix and evenly distributed β-TCP/HAP particles. The composite scaffold had interconnective micropores and the pore size ranged 2-10 μm. Introducing β-TCP/HAP particles into PLLA matrix significantly improved the mechanical properties of the composite scaffold. In summary, the new composite scaffolds show a great deal promise for use in bone tissue engineering.
