## Abstract The influence of variant pore‐size and porosity on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of poly‐ε‐caprolactone (PCL) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite were examined for an optimal scaffold in bone tissue engineering. Three various amounts of sodium chloride (NaCl, as porogen
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles grafted by poly(__N__‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes (PNIPAM‐__g__‐HA) have been synthesized by the surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of __N__‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). The surface grafting amount of PNIPAM ranges f
