## Abstract A biodegradable composite scaffold was developed using Ξ²βtricalcium phosphate (Ξ²βTCP) with chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel) in the form of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) via coβcrosslinking with glutaraldehyde. Various types of scaffolds were prepared by freezing and lyophilizing. These
## Abstract Chitosan scaffolds have gained much attention in tissue engineering. However, brittleness and low biodegradability limit scaffolds application, especially in use as guided tissue regeneration membranes (GTRm) in surgical operations. The first objective of this work is to improve the bri
