In-vitro Evaluation of Chitosan - Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposite Scaffolds as Bone Substitutes with Antibiofilm Properties

An opaque, white chitosan/ Hydroxyapatite nanocomposite was prepared by a simple blend method. Morphology, pore size and dispersion of nano-hydroxyapatite in chitosan matrix were visualized using SEM images. The FTIR and SEM with EDX analysis confirmed the bony apatite layer was formed on the outsid...
