Three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds based on polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/bioactive glass (BG) nanoparticle composites were fabricated by the freeze-drying technique for bone tissue engineering. The physiochemical properties of the developed PCL/CS/BG scaffolds were studied using FTIR, XRD, EDX and SEM. Furthermore, the swelling degree, porosity, water retention ability, compression strength, biodegradation, bioactivity and biocompatibility of the scaffolds were examined.
