Porous Calcium Sulfate/Hydroxyapatite Whiskers Scaffold for Bone Tissue Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Porous calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite whiskers composites scaffold is possible to be used in bone tissue engineering, for its biocompatibility, controllable degradation, and good mechanical properties. In this study, porous calcium sulfate/hydroxyapatite whisker composite scaffolds were fabricated by adding pore-forming agent and were characterized. The characteristics of the porous scaffolds were assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and immersing testing techniques. It is shown that the scaffolds prepared in this article have the porous structure with the content of CaSO4 and HA. The scaffolds prepared in this article have been confirmed to be ideally used as biodegradable implants.
