| Abstract | In this work, scaffolds derived from a new biomaterial originated from the combination of a natural material and a synthetic material were tested for assessing their suitability for cartilage tissue engi- neering applications. In order to obtain a better outcome result in terms of scaffolds’ overall properties, different blends of natural and synthetic materials were created. Chitosan and polybutylene succinate (C- PBS) 50/50 (wt%) were melt blended using a twin-screw extruder and processed into 5 |
