Combination of polymers and bioceramics has increased their importance in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to treat various defects. Within this frame, in this thesis, it is aimed to develop a 3D gelatin-coated PCL scaffold combined with Mn-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) in order to investigate the effect of the doping element, i.e., the manganese (Mn) ion, on the structural and biological properties of the composite scaffold. Pure and Mn-doped HAs were synthesized using microwave irradiation, and the samples were sintered at 800, 900, and 1000°C. Following the evaluation of the microstructural and biological results, HA and Mn-doped HA samples sintered at 900°C were chosen for scaffold fabrications and analysis. PCL scaffold was initially constructed by electrospinning method, and gelatin-coating was done by the glutaraldehyde (GTA) cross-linker around the primary PCL scaffold. Final gelatin-coated PCL scaffold was synthesized at 10%, 15%, and 16% (w/v) PCL amounts. After the optimization, 15% (w/v) PCL coated with gelatin was modified further by adding HA and Mn-HA at two different concentrations (2.5 wt.% and 5 wt.%). Final PCL/gelatin/HA and PCL/gelatin/Mn-HA were characterized by in-vitro degradation, bioactivity, and direct cytotoxicity tests. It was concluded that PCL/gelatin with 5mol% Mn-HA had better biological properties and characteristics for BTE applications.

Composite scaffolds prepared from natural polymers and hydroxyapatite (HA) are expected to have enhanced osteoconductive properties and as a result gained much attention in recent years for use in bone tissue-engineering applications. Although there are various natural polymers available for this purpose, chitosan (C) and gelatin (G) are commonly studied because of their inherent properties. The aim of this study was to prepare three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds using these two natural polymers and to add eit...

Making composite scaffolds is one of the well-known methods to improve the properties of scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering. In this study, novel ceramic-based 3D porous composite scaffolds were successfully prepared using boron-doped hydroxyapatite, as the primary component, and baghdadite, as the secondary component. The effects of making composites on the properties of boron-doped hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds were investigated in terms of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. T...
