Abstract

The preparation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) which was biocompatible, and osteoconductive ceramic material, for non-woven porous scaffolds was discussed. The HAp/chitosan composites were synthesized from Ca(OH)2, H 3PO4, and chitosan by co-precipitation, filtration, washing, and drying. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the cross-section showed that HAp particles are uniformly dispersed in the chitosan fiber matrix. It was found that the HAp/chitosan hybrid fibers have flexibility, and potentials for converting into three-dimensional (3D) structure, which can lead to the preparation of porous scaffolds.
