摘要: Calcium phosphate ceramics that mimic bone composition provide interesting possibilities for the advancement in tissue engineering. The present study reports on a chitosan composite reinforced by hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium (β-TCP) obtained from waste mussel shells cross-linked using tripolyphosphate (TPP). ratios of ceramic components composites were 20/10/70, 30/20/50 40/30/30 (HA/β-TCP/CH, w/w %). Biodegradation rate, structural properties in-vitro degradation bone-like scaffolds investigated. optimum amount TPP required was 2.5% glycerol used as plasticizer at an optimized concentration 1%. Tripolyphosphate developed freezing lyophilisation. Young's modulus increased 4kPa to 17kPa porosity dropped 85 68% increasing HA/β-TCP ratio. After 28days physiological solution, with higher ratio (e.g. 40/30/30) showed about 2% lower biodegradation comparison (i.e. 20/10/70). data suggest based could be potential candidates biomedical applications.
