Abstract

Scaffolds made with hydroxyapatite (HAp), polylactic acid (PLA), and commercial polycaprolactone (PCL) were developed. HAp was synthesized by the wet chemical precipitation method, while semicrystalline PLA was obtained by a monomer ring-opening polymerization, displacing air with helium gas. This synthesis modification has not been described previously. Subsequently, by solvent casting/salt leaching, both compositions of the scaffolds were designed: HAp10-PLA10-PCL80 and HAp30-PLA10-PCL60. DSC/TGA. SEM, XRD, and FTIR were characterized. The overall results illustrate that scaffolds of these compounds display satisfactory morphology and thermal properties.
