Abstract

A biodegradable composite scaffold was developed using beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) with chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel) in the form of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) via co-crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. Various types of scaffolds were prepared by freezing and lyophilizing. These scaffol...
