Nanocomposites for bone-tissue regeneration properties and processing

5 Nanocomposites for bone-tissue regeneration properties and processing 

1 Why composite-based scaffolds for bone-tissue regeneration  

There is an increasing interest towards the development of composite materials for tissue-engineering scaffolds. The physical and mechanical properties of the constituent materials can be combined, thus to more closely match the mechanical and
