## 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
At present there is a strong need for suitable scaffolds that meet the requirements for bone tissue engineering applications. The objective of this study was to investigate the suitability of porous scaffolds based on a hydroxyl functionalized polymer, poly(hydroxymethylglycolide-co-Ξ΅-caprolactone)
