Microspheres are novel candidate materials for microcarriers and tissue-engineering scaffolds. Chitosan microspheres were selected as the base materials because of their excellent properties for biomedical applications. But their smooth surfaces were not adapted for cell attachment. Hence, in order to improve the roughness of chitosan microspheres, beta-TCP/chitosan composite microspheres were developed. From SEM photographs, the coarse surfaces of composite microspheres were observed, there were some ceramic particles standing out of the chitosan matrix. And their roughness measured by profilometers was about 2.0 mm. Mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were seeded on the microspheres for evaluating the attachment interaction between cells and materials. According to the ESEM photographs and MTT assay, the adherence and proliferation of osteoblasts on the surfaces of modified microspheres were better than those on the chitosan microspheres, which were mainly attributed to the improved roughness of surface.
