Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In this paper, a process for generating collagen‐yttria‐stabilized amorphous zirconia hybrid scaffolds by introducing acetylacetone‐inhibited zirconia precursor nanodroplets into a poly(allylamine)‐coated collagen matrix is reported. This polyelectrolyte coating triggers intrafibrillar condensation of the precursors into amorphous zirconia, which is subsequently transformed into yttria‐stabilized zirconia after calcination. These findings represent a new paradigm in the synthesis of non‐naturally occurring collagen‐based hybrid scaffolds under alcoholic mineralizing conditions.</p> </abstract>
