  • Evaluation of the in vitro biocompatibility of a chitosan/poly(DL-lactide) composite.

  • The composite was developed through the thermally induced phase separation method.

  • Water, acetic acid and chloroform were used as a solvents.

  • It was found evidence of a formation of apatite layer on the surface of material.

  • The evidence shown that the composite has potential applications in tissue engineering, especially on bone.
