Abstract:Porous polycaprolactone/chitosan blend scaffolds with various compositional proportions were prepared using a particulate‐leaching method. The pore parameters of resultant scaffolds were found to be mainly modulated by porogen. The compressive mechanical properties and hydrophilicity of scaffolds were examined by measuring their compressive modulus and stress strength as well as swelling index. Selected chondrocytes isolated from articular cartilage of knee joints of rabbits were seeded on these scaffolds, and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
