Functional scaffolds of bicontinuous, thermoresponsive L3-phase silica/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites

Abstract

Silicified L3-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites have been prepared by the integration of a thermosensitive polymer and heterogeneous continuity in a 3-D interconnected porous structure for highly controlled drug release without initial burst release during step-wise temperature changes, and the in-vitro cytotoxicity test for biocompatibility is demonstrated.
