Reinforcement of hydroxyethyl cellulose / poly (vinyl alcohol) with cellulose nanocrystal as a bone tissue engineering scaffold

In this present work, a porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffold of HEC/PVA and HEC/PVA/CNC were successfully fabricated by freeze-drying technique. HEC (5 wt%) and PVA (15 wt%) were dissolved and blended at a ratio of 50:50 and incorporated with CNC (3 wt%) as nanofillers to obtain a highly porous sc...
