• Biodegradable and bioactive porous polymer/inorganic composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. (2006, neutral): “By taking advantage of the formability of polymers and including controlled-volume fractions of a bioactive ceramic phase, mechanical reinforcement of the fabricated scaffold can be achieved [52,125].”
• Biodegradable Materials for Bone Repair and Tissue Engineering Applications (2015, neutral): “However, PCL has been shown not to be an ideal biomat rial for these purposes due to its slow degradation rate and inferior mechanical properties [281,282].”
• Fibroblast Growth Factors: Biology, Function, and Application for Tissue Regeneration (2010, positive): “Apart from the polymer groups, bioceramics are promising candidate materials for grafting defects of hard tissues, such as bones and teeth [72–79].”
• Tissue engineering scaffold material of nano-apatite crystals and polyamide composite (2004, neutral): “Conventional melting method by mechanically mixing HA powders with polymer to prepare HA/polymer composite is difficult to ensure high HA content in composite with good homogeneity [20,21].”
