Construction of novel tissue engineering scaffolds using supercritical fluid gas foaming

Three dimensional scaffolds were created from a biodegradable polymer (polylactide) and the mineral silica utilising supercritical fluid (SCF) gas foaming. The effect of silica on the scaffold pore architecture was investigated through X-ray computed microtomography (microCT); the scaffolds were sho...
