Blends and Nanocomposite Biomaterials for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering Doulabi, Azadehsadat Hashemi; Mequanint, Kibret; Mohammadi, Hadi

Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive assessment on polymer blends and nanocomposite systems for articular cartilage tissue engineering applications. Classification of various types of blends including natural/natural, synthetic/synthetic systems, their combination and nanocomposite biomaterials are studied. Additionally, an inclusive study on their characteristics, cell responses ability to mimic tissue and regenerate damaged articular cartilage with respect to have functionality and composition needed for native tissue, are also provided.
