Synthesis and characterization of bioactive biodegradable chitosan composite spheres with shape memory capability

Chitosan (CHT) spheres incorporating bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNPs) were prepared to obtain a composite system able to induce the deposition of an apatite layer upon immersion in a biological-like environment. Spheres were synthesized with different concentrations of BGNPs obtained from a sol...
