Abstract:
Chitosan (ChS), Chondroitin Sulfate A (CSA) and Hyaluronic Acid (HYA) were employed as organic matrix, while calcium and phosphate salt solution were the precursors of the inorganic phase. The novel ChS/CSA/HYA/nHAP nano-composite scaffold with multilevel structure (nano-micron-macro) were prepared, using the biomimetic synthesis and freeze-drying technique. SEM shows that the composite scaffold possesses interconnected porous structure, with the pore size of 45 similar to 156 mu m and porosity at (93.78 +/- 1.56)%. The nano-particles were formed in situ with relatively homogeneous distribution in the scaffold. XRD and FTIR confirm the scaffold in situ forms nano-HAP crystals. ChS/CSA/HYA/nHAP nano-composite scaffold has relative good mechanical properties with compressive strength of (0.126 +/- 0.073) MPa and elastic modulus of (0.682 +/- 0.045) MPa. Rat osteoblast was used to set up in vitro evaluation model. The MTT measurement shows the cytotoxicity grade of the scaffold is 0 to 1, which indicates that the ChS/CSA/HYA/nHAP nano-composite scaffold has relative good cytocompatibility. All the results show that the ChS/CSA/HYA/nHAP nano-composite scaffold may serve as a good scaffold for bone tissue engineering.
