| Abstract |
In this study, bio-scaffolds have been developed using irradiated chitosan from different sources – squid pen (RS) and crab shell (RC) – with hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) at a chitosan/HA/β-TCP ratio of 50/30/20. The bio-scaffolds were prepared at two different freezing temperature (−20 °C and −80 °C) followed by lyophilisation. To enhance the mechanical properties, the bio-scaffolds were cross-linked using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) followed by lyophilisation. The composition and morphology of the bio-scaffolds were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM and μ-CT. The pore size of the porous scaffolds ranged from 90 to 220 μm and the scaffolds had 70–80% porosity. The scaffolds had a water uptake ratio of more than 10, and a controlled biodegradation in the range of 30–40%. These results suggest that the physical and biological properties of chitosan-based bio-scaffolds can be a promising biomaterial for bone-tissue regeneration. |
