Development of Composite Scaffolds Based on Cerium Doped-Hydroxyapatite and Natural Gums—Biological and Mechanical Properties
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a ceramic material composing the inorganic portion of bones. Ionic substitutions enhance characteristics of HAp, for example, calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) by cerium ions (Ce<sup>3+</sup>). The use of HAp is potentialized through biopolymers, cashew g...
