The scaffold was synthesized using a combination of solvent casting and salt leaching methods. The nanoparticle sizes were controlled by hydrothermal treatment with the aid of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which was then used as a bio-inorganic component of the composite scaffold. Various methods, such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, and liquid substitution, were conducted to determine the morphology, structure, pore sizes, and porosity of the synthesized scaffolds and the interaction between the SiO2 and CS phases. The mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds were evaluated by testing their tensile strength. The results showed that the synthesized 3D CS/SiO2 scaffolds exhibited porous structures with suitable average pore sizes ranging from 198 to 269 µm and porosities from 70.99 to 73.23%, respectively. The tensile strengths of the CS/SiO2 scaffolds were around 1.57-1.83 MPa, matching well with those of cancellous bone. These appropriate values in terms of pore size, porosity, and tensile strength suggest that CS/SiO2 scaffolds could support cell migration, growth, and distribution. The synthesized CS/SiO2 scaffolds would be potential biomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications. Keywords.

Previous studies have shown that significantly differ from the mean porosity of CS/Si2 scaffolds with moderate porosities of 60-75% were scaffolds (73.23±1.23%). Conversely, the porosities effectively used for bone growth because of the of CS scaffolds without SiO2 (79.26±2.21% for CS1 scaffold’s increased mechanical properties at those scaffold and 82.45±3.61% for CS2 scaffold) were porosities.[23,24] Scaffolds for bone tissue higher than those of the CS/SiO2 composite regeneration should have an adequate pore scaffolds. Our results showed that both the amount architecture (e.g., pore size and porosity), and of NaCl and the content of SiO2 influenced the pore suitable mechanical properties similar to those of sizes and porosity of the synthesized scaffolds. bone tissues. Therefore, the results obtained showed Further, the mechanical properties of the CS/SiO2 the synthesized CS/SiO2 scaffolds have suitable pore scaffolds were evaluated by measuring their tensile sizes, porosities, and mechanical strength, which are strength.

The tensile pore size is too small (less than 50 m), cells may strengths of the CS/SiO2 scaffolds match well with cause pore occlusion and prevent cell penetration that of cancellous bone. The results confirmed that within the scaffold, because the size of the CS/SiO2 scaffolds could support cell migration, mammalian cells is 10-30 m; pore size ranges from growth, and distribution when used as bone 75-100 m resulted in ingrowth of unmineralized scaffolds. Therefore, the results obtained osteoid tissue and smaller pores (down to 10 m) demonstrated that the synthesized CS/SiO2 scaffolds were penetrated only by fibrous tissue.[22] Porosity is should be potential biomaterials for BTE another important factor for BTE scaffolds.
