Background:

Hydroxyapatite scaffolds are crucial for bone tissue engineering.
Existing fabrication methods have limitations in controlling pore structure and mechanical properties.
Developing advanced scaffolds is essential for successful bone regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel fabrication technique for hydroxyapatite scaffolds.
To achieve controlled "designer" pore structures and improved compressive strength.
To evaluate the influence of fabrication parameters on scaffold properties.

Main Methods:

Utilized a combined freeze-gel casting and polymer sponge technique.
Employed tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA) as a solvent.
Characterized scaffold microstructure and mechanical strength.

Main Results:

Fabricated scaffolds with a reticulated structure and large pore sizes (180-360 microm).
Achieved interconnected, unidirectional pore channels (approx. 4.5 microm) and dense inner walls with fine pores (<2 microm).
Demonstrated that higher solid loading resulted in lower porosity, smaller pore size, and increased compressive strength.

Conclusions:

The novel freeze-gel casting/polymer sponge technique effectively produces hydroxyapatite scaffolds with tailored properties.
The method allows for precise control over pore architecture and enhances mechanical integrity for bone tissue engineering.
This approach offers a promising route for developing advanced biomaterials for regenerative medicine.
