Abstract:Nanoattapulgite (nano-ATP), a magnesium−aluminum silicate clay, can absorb substances and is a suitable material for bone repair and regeneration. In this study, using threedimensional printing technology, a nano-ATP/polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold was fabricated and modified using NaOH to form a rough surface. Biomimetic hydroxyapatite (HA) on nano-ATP/ PCL scaffolds was fabricated using a biomineralized approach. The scaffold provided structural support through PCL and was modified with ATP and HA to improve… Show more
