In tissue engineering applications or even in 3D cell cultures, the biological cross talk
between cells and the scaffold is controlled by the material properties and scaffold …

In comparison with unfoamed polymers, polymer foams find extensive application in various
civil and industrial fields such as packaging, sports equipment, absorbents, and automotive …

Microcellular polystyrene (PS) foams and porous structures of the biodegradable poly (d, l-
lactic acid)(Pd, lLA) were prepared with the batch foaming technique (pressure quench) …

Low density, nanocellular polymer nanocomposite foams are considered as a promising
new class of materials with many promising applications, for example to passively enhance …

Foaming of thermoplastics is an area of significant research interest. The substitution of any
solid polymer with its foamed counterparts not only results in the lowering of material and …

In the past decade, considerable efforts have been made to fabricate the biomimetic
scaffolds from electrospun nanofibers for tissue engineering applications. However, one of …

Polymer foams created using supercritical carbon dioxide as a processing solvent have
garnered much interest in recent years. The properties of supercritical CO2 make it ideally …

Scaffold is a 3D porous structure that is made of different materials, such as synthetic and
natural polymers. It plays the role of a synthetic extracellular matrix and permits adhesion …

The increase in the world demand of bone and cartilage replacement therapies urges the
development of advanced synthetic scaffolds for regenerative purposes, not only providing …

In this work we investigated the solid-state supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2) foaming of poly (ɛ-
caprolactone)(PCL), a semi-crystalline, biodegradable polyester, and PCL loaded with 5 …
