Firstly,prepare HA with various average molecular weight and alginate with different viscosity,mix them up at a certain proportion and make it into a Alg Ca2 +-HA composite scaffold with a film-forming method. This article discusses the feasibility of this scaffold used in tissue engineering field according to the consequence of moisture content testing,mechanical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The structure and properties of Alg Ca2 +-HA composite scaffold are closely related to some factors such as average molecular weight of hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid concentration, alginate viscosity, cross-linking agents and processing technology. The Alg Ca2+-HA composite material, which is at different proportions and adding different cross-linking agent,has some certain characteristics: moisture content ranging from 50% to 95%, tensile strength between 2.69 N/mm2 and 4.299 N/mm2, and elongation at break is about 58% to 160%.The prepared Alg Ca2+-HA composite scaffolds can be used as tissue engineering scaffolds resulting from its high moisture content, good mechanical properties and ideal pore structure.展开更多
