Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Porous Chitosan/Gelatin/Polycaprolactone Bone Scaffold Prepared by Microwave Foaming Method.

ABSTRACT: Bone tissue may suffer from bone injury and bone defects due to accidents or diseases. Since the demand for autologous bone and allograft tissue far exceeds the supply, bone scaffolds have taken the lead. The use of bone scaffolds is one of the measures to help heal or regenerate bone tissue. Therefore, a new bone scaffold was proposed in this study, which has a simpler preparation process and stronger performance. This study proposes bone scaffolds with an attempt to use polymers that are synthesized separately with three types of minerals as the filler using the microwave foaming method as follows. A 0.1 wt% of montmorillonite (MMT), zinc oxide (ZnO), or titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is added to chitosan (CS)/gelatin mixtures, respectively, after which sodium bicarbonate is added as
