Collagen/silica nanocomposites and hybrids for bone tissue engineering
Collagen is increasingly attracting attention for bone tissue engineering applications. However, due to its low mechanical properties, applications including mechanical loads or requiring structural integrity are limited. To tackle this handicap, collagen can be combined with (nanoscale) silica in a...
