CHARACTERIZATION OF THREE DIMENSIONAL SCAFFOLDS FROM LOCAL CHITOSAN/ALGINATE/GEOTHERMAL SILICA FOR POTENTIAL TISSUE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
Biocomposite scaffolds can be used to repair bone damage caused by accident or illness. As natural polymers, chitosan and alginate have been widely used for biocomposite applications. However, chitosan-based biocomposites have low mechanical strength. In Indonesia, geothermal power plants produce si...
