Received: 12/Jul/2008, Accepted: 14/Oct/2008 Objective: To date, several scaffolds have been fabricated for application in bone tissue repair. However, there remains a need for synthesis of scaffolds with better mechanical properties, which can be applied to defects in weight-bearing bones. We constructed a composite ceramic bioscaffold of hydroxyapatite-alumina and silicon carbide (HA-Al2O3SiC...
