Abstract:The objective of the present study was to evaluate the carbon fiber obtained from textile PAN fiber, in its different forms, as a potential scaffolds synthetic bone. Thirty‐four adult rats were used (Rattus norvegicus, albinus variation), two critical sized bone defects were made that were 5 mm in diameter. Twenty‐four animals were randomly divided into four groups: control (C)—bone defect + blood clot, non‐activated carbon fiber felt (NACFF)—bone defect + NACFF, activated carbon fiber felt (ACFF)—bone defect … Show more
