Fabrication of Bioscaffolds Using Bubbling Technique for Bone Tissue Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple and green method for scaffold production was introduced here. The method is based on bubbling process of PVA solution. This process is superior to other conventional techniques in the matter of controllable pore size and without using of any other organic solvents. Microstructure of the scaffold was examined by a stereo microscope. Pore size and size-distribution were determined using a scanning electron microscope. Interconnected cells with uniform pores were observed without any other impurities within the pores. Average pore size was about 220 microns which is in the range required for bone tissue engineering application.
