## Abstract A hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAC) composite was produced to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone, with the collagen serving as a template for apatite formation. A three‐dimensional highly porous scaffold was developed by mixing HAC with poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLA) using a thermall
