Scaffolds of poly (ε-caprolactone) with whiskers of hydroxyapatite

Scaffolds of Poly (ε-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite were produced and studied for tissue engineering applications. The materials were selected due to its biodegradability (PCL) and bioactivity (HA), and above all their biocompatibility toward the human tissue. The composites produced were characterize...

Zusammenfassung:Scaffolds of Poly (ε-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite were produced and studied for tissue engineering applications. The materials were selected due to its biodegradability (PCL) and bioactivity (HA), and above all their biocompatibility toward the human tissue. The composites produced were characterized by SEM, XRD, and EDS. By analyzing these characterizations it was possible to obtain further information about the composition and morphology aspects of all portions of the composite scaffold.
