Characterization and evaluation of polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds with extra surface morphology by cryogenic printing for bone tissue engineering

In this work, the polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold with specific surface morphology was prepared by cryogenic printing technique. Biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HA) was added to the PCL matrix to enhance the surface properties and bioactivity of the scaffolds. The effects of HA on the mechanical stren...
