Study Findings from Amirkabir University of Technology Broaden Understanding of Bone Scaffolds [Wet Chemical Synthesis of Nanohydroxyapatite Within Poly(Sodium Sulfonated Butylene Fumarate-co-acrylic Acid) As Bone Scaffold: Effects of...].

A recent study conducted at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, focused on the synthesis and modification of biodegradable poly(sodium sulfonated butylene fumarate-co-acrylic acid)/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The research found that incorporating hydrophilic sulfonate and carboxylic acid groups led to improved mechanical stability, nanoparticle dispersion, and biocompatibility of the scaffolds. These results suggest that the developed nanocomposite scaffolds show promise for applications in bone tissue regeneration.
