Preparation and Evaluation of Gelatin-Chitosan-Nanobioglass 3D Porous Scaffold for Bone Tissue Engineering

Table 5

Summery of mechanical properties of GCB scaffolds prepared from solutions of different bioglass concentrations (wt%). Data refer to mean value ± standard deviation.

Bioglass scaffolds specimens	Porosity (%)	Mechanical properties
		Elastic modulus (MPa)	Compressive strength (MPa) (at 40% strain)
BG 0%	89.3 ± 7.8	50 ± 5.23	0.8 ± 0.16
BG 10%	82.4 ± 5.0	55 ± 7.12	1.2 ± 0.01
BG 20%	80.8 ± 3.3	68 ± 10.10	1.6 ± 0.01
BG 30%	81.3 ± 6.1	111 ± 12.09	2.2 ± 0.02

Except between sample BG 0% and BG 10% (), all values in each mechanical property category were found to be significantly different from each other (, by Student’s -test, ).
