Preparation and Characterization of Porous PLGA Scaffold for Tissue Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Scaffold plays an important role in tissue engineering. In this study, porous PLGA scaffold was successfully prepared by mixed solvent systems using the thermally induced phase separation method. The PLGA scaffold shows fibrous matrix and interconnective pores, and the scaffold has high porosity and compressive modulus with dioxane/THF solvent system, which could be a very promising scaffold for tissue engineering.
