  Introduction: Creating an ideal scaffold for bone tissue engineering requires specific characteristics. Composite materials, combining the advantages of polymers and ceramics, offer tailored properties and enhanced functionality. This study aimed to fabricate, characterize and optimize multi-phasic composite scaffolds with spiral backbones for potential bone tissue engineering applications. Methods: Composite scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinning using 24.5% Zein and varying concentrations of Calcium Phosphate (CP) (15%, 20% and 25%). Ribbon-shaped electrospun Zein/CP composite mats were structured into spiral forms, placed in cylindrical Teflon molds, filled with a blended slurry (Zein/cartilage-derived matrix/CP/gelatin), snap-frozen and lyophilized to form multi-phasic composite scaffolds. Mechanical, FESEM and FTIR a.. Read More»
