Abstract:The combination of freeze drying and sucrose leaching technique was employed to fabricate PLA/HA scaffolds with controlled pore size. The influence of the HA content and sucrose size on the scaffold properties was investigated. The fabricated scaffolds showed porous properties with a porosity of 44% to 58% and pore size of 461 μm to 688 μm. The results indicated that the scaffolds possessed favorable porous properties, illustrated by good interconnectivity, appropriate pore size, and suitable porosity. These c… Show more
