This article reports the fabrication of three-dimensional porous chitosan and hydroxyapatite (HA)/chitosan composite scaffolds by the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique, for bone tissue engineering. Different amounts of HA nanoparticles (10%, 20%, and 30% g/g) were added to the chit...
