Chitosan-GPTMS-Silica Hybrid Mesoporous Aerogels for Bone Tissue Engineering

Chitosan-GPTMS-Silica Hybrid Mesoporous Aerogels for Bone Tissue Engineering

This study introduces a new synthesis route for obtaining homogeneous chitosan (CS)-silica hybrid aerogels with CS contents up to 10 wt%, using 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as coupling agent, for tissue engineering applications. Aerogels were obtained using the sol-gel process followed...
