Abstract
The development of highly controllable fabrication techniques is vital in producing implantable bone scaffolds suitable for clinical use. Bioresorbable HAp, Bioglass® and composite bioscaffolds have been successfully manufactured by freeze casting and gel casting. For porcine gelatin based gel casting methods, variation of HAp loading (10-60wt%) and gelatin concentration (1-6wt%) resulted in interconnected 3D scaffolds with macroporosity (50-2000μm) and microporosity (0.5-50μm). In contrast, freeze casting employed camphor and camphene as freezing vehicle to fabricate interconnected HAp scaffolds with some macropores. Camphor yielded largely micropores of 2-6μm compared to 1-5μm for camphene. Micropores and interconnectivity are thought to be beneficial to promote cell behaviour and healing critical bone defects. Camphor offered a wider temperature window for handling than camphene due to its higher T<SUB>m</SUB> with a higher degree of control in processing and development of microstructure. DTA-TG, SEM, XRD and μCT have been used to characterize the scaffolds and precursor materials.
