Preparation and characterization of chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) nanocomposites
displaying an intercalated structure is reported. Hydroxyapatite was synthesized through sol …

Background Bone loss during trauma, surgeries, and tumor resection often results in critical-
sized bone defects that need to be filled with substitutionary materials. Complications …

Hierarchically porous hydroxyapatite (HHA) scaffolds were synthesized by template-assisted
sol-gel chemistry. Polyurethane foam and a block copolymer were used as templates for …

Nonunion associated with long bone defects continues to be highly researched both
experimentally and clinically. A porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold has been recognized …

The challenge of integrating hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp) with polymers is hindered
by the conflict between the hydrophilic and hygroscopic properties of nHAp and the …

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) materials show an analogous chemical composition to the
biogenic mineral components of calcified tissues and depending on their topography they …

Wood-derived TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have potential as scaffolding
for bone tissue engineering. Although biocompatible, the material lacks osteoconductive …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-based nanocomposites have been recognized as ideal
biomaterials in hard tissue engineering because of their compositional similarity to …

Background A considerable number of studies has been carried out to develop alloplastic
bone graft materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP) that mimic the hierarchical structure of …

Chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffolds could be used for bone regeneration in case the
application of auto‐or allografts is impossible. The objective of the present work was to …
