The current study involves fabrication and characterization of bio-composite scaffolds containing chitosan (CS), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and Cu-Zn alloy nanoparticles (nCu-Zn) by freeze drying technique. The fabricated composite scaffolds (CS/nHAp and CS/nHAp/nCu-Zn) were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and FT-IR studies. The addition of nCu-Zn in the CS/nHAp scaffolds significantly increased swelling, decreased degradation, increased protein adsorption, and increased antibacterial activity. The CS/nHAp/nCu-Zn scaffolds had no toxicity towards rat osteoprogenitor cells. So the developed CS/nHAp/nCu-Zn scaffolds have advantageous and potential applications over the CS-nHAp scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
