In this paper, a novel porous scaffold for bone tissue engineering was prepared with nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen/Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) composite reinforced by chitin fibres. To enhance the strength of the scaffold further, PLLA was linked with chitin fibres by Dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCC). The

## Abstract Three‐dimensional degradable porous polymeric structures with high porosities (93–98%) and well‐interconnected pore networks have been prepared by freeze‐drying polymer solutions in the presence of a leachable template followed by leaching of the template. Templates of the pore network
## Abstract A novel scaffold with large dimension of 3–4 cm in length and 1–1.5 cm in diameter was designed and fabricated for engineering large bone tissue __in vivo__. The scaffold was constructed by filling hydroxyapatite (HA) spherules into a porous HA tube. The HA spherules were prepared by ch
## Abstract Pure hydroxyapatite (HAp) and a biphasic calcium phosphate [containing 90% of β‐tri‐calcium phosphate (β‐TCP) and 10% HAp] were tailored through an aqueous solution combustion synthesis. Porous struts were prepared using all the powders along with bioglass, a known bioactive material, a
