Preparation of Scaffold Using Rice Husk and Starch for Bone Regeneration
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Bone scaffolds are used in the treatment of bone defects, various materials are widely used nowadays to produce osteoconductive tissues. The present study is framed to design and characterize a bone scaffold using rice husk and starch. With the aid of rice husk, porous scaffold is developed for bone tissue regeneration, which can provide a mechanical support in an ecofriendly and cost effective manner. The combination of rice husk and starch with a biodegradable polymer gives a good compressive strength and mechanical property. Characterization of rice husk and starch is performed by various techniques such as SEM, compressive mechanical test, porosity test, in vitro bioactivity test. Thus the blend of rice husk and starch with polymer is useful in forming an ideal scaffold intended for bone regeneration.
