Temporary bone scaffolds can surrogate the extracellular matrix to favor the regeneration of tissues and organs. It is very difficult to obtain the coexistence of the macro-, micro-, and nanostructural properties necessary to mimic the organization of the human bone. To obtain all of these characteristics, we tested a supercritical fluid assisted technique for the formation of PLLA/ceramic scaffolds using hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles loaded at up to 50% by weight of the polymer to improve the biomimethism and the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. We produced poly(L-lactic acid) scaffolds in relatively short time (
