Hydroxyapatite (HA) derived from bovine bones garnered wider interest as a bone substitute due to their abundant availability as meat wastes and similarities in morphology and mineral composition to human bone. In our previous work, we developed an easy and reproducible method to prepare xenograft HA scaffolds from NZ bovine cancellous bones (BHA). However, the processing methodology rendered the material mechanically weak. The present study investigated the infiltration of chitosan (CS) into the bovine HA scaffolds (CSHA) to improve the mechanical properties of BHA. The presence of characteristic functional groups of HA and CS as detected by infrared spectroscopy confirmed the infiltration of CS into the BHA scaffolds. X-ray Diffraction study confirmed the presence of the hydroxyapatite phase in both BHA and CSHA scaffolds. SEM and mu CT analyses showed the CSHA scaffolds presented adequate porosity and an interconnected porous architecture required for cell migration and attachment. CSHA scaffolds presented good thermal, chemical and structural stabilitywhile demonstrating sustained biodegradability in simulated body fluid. CSHA scaffolds presented mechanical properties significantly higher than the BHA scaffolds. CSHA scaffolds were biocompatible with Saos-2 osteoblast cells and supported cell proliferation significantly better than the BHA scaffolds indicating their potential in bone tissue engineering.
