Porous structure engineering of bioceramic hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds using PVA, PVP, and PEO as polymeric porogens

Nanobioceramic hydroxyapatite (HAp) was synthesized from golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) shell and used to fabricate HAp-based scaffolds with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the porogen agent. The porogen was removed during the HAp sinter...
