(A) Macropores produced by mannitol dissolution in CPC–chitosan composite. (B) Nano apatite crystals in macroporous CPC without chitosan. Nano crystals were also observed in CPC with chitosan. (C) Histogram of macropore size distribution by measuring 147 randomly selected macropores in CPC. The macropore length (mean±sd; n = 147) was (183±73) μm. The macropore diameter was (95±40) μm. The pore aspect ratio was 1.9.
