A basic approach toward the development of nanocomposite magnetic scaffolds for advanced bone tissue engineering

Magnetic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering based on a poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) matrix and iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) magnetic nanoparticles were designed and developed through a three‐dimensional (3D) fiber‐deposition technique. PCL/Fe 3 O 4 scaffolds were characterized by a 90/10 w/w composition. Tensile and magnetic measurements were carried out, and nondestructive 3D imaging was performed through microcomputed tomography (Micro‐CT)....
