In Vitro Degradation of PLLA/nHA Composite Scaffolds

Porous Poly-L-lactide (PLLA) scaffolds and PLLA/nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) composite scaffolds with interconnected pore networks and a porosity of over 90% were fabricated with lyophilization techniques. In this study, the degradation behavior of PLLA and PLLA/nHA composite scaffolds is investigated o...
