Introduction

Millions of bone graft surgeries have improved the quality of the life of millions, which cost about £ 2.5 billion annually worldwide. Current focus of the researcher is to synthesis of a bioactive bone scaffold which will reduce the cost and number of the bone graft surgeries. Hypothesis To synthesis novel, bioactive, porous, mechanical stable bone scaffold using bio glass and alginate.

Methods

Sr releasing glass was made using by melt derived technique. Composite bone scaffold was made using bio-glass and alginate. Freeze dry technique was used to make the porous bone scaffold. Bone scaffold was characterized using XRD, DSC, FTIR, Particle size analyser, SEM, ICP, Mechanical testing, Cell culture with osteoblast and fibroblast and NMR techniques.
