Preparation and Research of Porous KGM/ Collagen II Composite Cartilage Scaffolds

Abstract:

KGM and Collagen II were selected as the main raw materials and ammonia served as the crosslinking agent to prepare the porous KGM / COLII composite cartilage scaffolds by blending method and freeze-drying method. The porosity, average pore size, compressive strength and water absorption were measured on the basis of the related standard. The scaffolds were characterized by SEM and XRD. The results show that the optimal program of preparing composite cartilage scaffolds is KGM (2g), COLII (1g), freeze temperature (-20 ° C) and ammonia (0.1 ml). The optimal cartilage scaffolds are porous three-dimensional network structures which the porosity is more than 90%; the average pore size is about 200μm; the compressive strength is about 0.75Mpa and the water absorption reaches up to 892%.
