The viscosity of the alginate obtained from the macroalgae S.duplicatum of Banten Indonesia and from a commercially available alginate were determined using a viscometer. Hydroxyapatite and alginates were blended, resulting gels that were freeze-dryed. The procedure of phase separation has resulted in HA/S.duplicatum composite scaffolds demonstrating a well-interconnected-pores structure. Pore diameter of HA/S. duplicatum occured up to 200 μm although the viscosity of S.duplicatum alginate was very high compared to that of the commercially available alginate. Pore walls revealed with HA granules entrapped in the alginate matrix. The appearance of HA/S.duplicatum structure was close to that of the HA/alginate (commercially available). © 2013 IEEE.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Alginate matrix,Composite scaffolds,Indonesia,Macro-algae,Microstructure analysis,microstucture,Pore diameters,Pore wall[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]alginate,hydroxyapatite,microstucture,scaffold,tissue engineering[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICICI-BME.2013.6698543[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
