Gelatin/NaTiO Nanocomposite Scaffolds: Mechanical Properties and Characterization for Tissue Engineering Applications.

Materials and manufacturing technologies are necessary for tissue engineering and developing temporary artificial extracellular matrices. In this study, scaffolds were fabricated from freshly synthesized titanate (NaTiO) and its precursor titanium dioxide and their properties were investigated. The scaffolds with improved properties were then mixed with gelatin to form a scaffold material using the freeze-drying technique.

Optimization of Salt-Leaching Parameters for Gelatin/NaTiO Scaffolds Using a Mixture Design Experiment.

The purpose of this research was to learn the formation of biomedical scaffold material from gelatin by using titanate (NaTiO), which is a newly synthesized derivative of titanium dioxide (TiO) with gelatin. It was prepared by mixed several solutions and cross-linked molecules by heating and salt-leaching. The biomedical scaffold was formed, and its porosity depended on the size of the salt crystal.
