Preparation and Properties of Biodegradable Polyurethane Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

3D porous scaffolds were produced by a combined salt leaching-phase inverse technique. Results showed that micorpores and macropores distributed in the produced scaffolds with high porosity (more than 75%). The interconnectivity can be influenced by the use of methanol and water as a nonsolvent to induce liquidliquid phase separation. The addition of the nonsolvent and NaCl had influence on compression property of the scaffolds.
