Chitosan, K-carrageenan scaffolds were fabricated by forming their polyelectrolyte, followed by crosslinking k-carrageenan with calcium chloride. The scaffolds were reinforced with hydroxyapatite of nano and micron sizes. Most stable scaffolds were formed when chitosan and K-carrageenan were in 1:1...
