This paper intends the development of a composite scaffold by a simple freeze-drying technique where the naturally available guar gum (GG) was reacted with that of hydroxyapatite (HA). During the synthesis, the GG suspension was allowed to react with different concentrations of HA (10-30 wt%) and th...
