摘要: Biomimetic porous poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds containing chitosan nanofibers (CSNF) were produced by using a hybrid process that combines extrusion foaming, water-soluble phase leaching, and freeze-drying. The high porosity interconnectivity of the achieved supercritical fluid foaming addition poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) sodium chloride (NaCl) as porogens. after leaching was over 78%. structure introduced into micropores similar to collagen bundles in extracellular matrix (ECM). enhanced compressive modulus slightly improved water uptake ability much 35% compared without chitosan. A 3T3 fibroblast cell culture performed investigate biocompatibility scaffolds, which revealed cells proliferated better on PCL/chitosan than PCL scaffo...
