| Summary: | Current trend has demonstrated the implementation of natural polymers as alternative
materials in various engineering applications including biomaterials and biomedical applications.
This paper reviews the potential of Cellulose Phosphate derived from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch
(OPEFB-CP) as a biomedical material. OPEFB-CP will act as reinforcement to glass materials in
fabricating good and flexible scaffold composite materials. A 3-dimensional scaffold composite
material comprised of the cellulose phosphate and glass material was produced by using a sol-gel
technique. The composite biomaterial is expected to have degraded together as one material. |
