Various materials can be used to create nanoscaffolds, including:
- Polymers: Biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are commonly used because they can be easily fabricated into nanofibers and degrade into non-toxic byproducts. - Ceramics: Materials like hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate are used for bone tissue engineering due to their osteoconductive properties. - Composites: Combining polymers and ceramics can improve the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the scaffold.
