Abstract

High strength Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite scaffold was obtained by using co-precipitation and salt fractionation method. SEM and mechanical test were used to investigate the structure and properties of the composite scaffolds. The results showed that when the content of NaCl were 10wt%, the scaffolds performed the best mechanical properties (compressive strengths and modulus), which reached 12MPa and 598MPa, respectively. The results of SEM suggested that the composites present porous morphologies structure.
