Development of Bioactive Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration and Mechanical Stability

A porous bone scaffold must sustain mechanical loading while permitting vascular and cellular infiltration and progressively transferring load to regenerated bone. This paper evaluates a polycaprolactone (PCL), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and bioactive-glass design through a combined materials, mechanical and mechanobiol...
