Bone tissue regeneration carbon-based materials

The aim of this study was the preparation and preliminary investigation of a polymeric based nanocomposite scaffold modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as materials for bone tissue regeneration. For preparation of the nanocomposite scaffold two types of methods were used, i.e. salt leaching and a combination of salt leaching and gas foaming... 

Hofmann et al. [55] have created a bioactive cellulose surface where the nonwo-ven cellulose (regenerated, oxidized) fabrics were coated with hydroxy-carbonated apatite, using a procedure based on a biomimetic method (Figure 14.8). A simulated body fluid with a high degree of supersaturation was appHed to accelerate the biomimetic formation of boneUke apatite on the cellulose fabrics. These materials are under consideration as attractive candidates for scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.
