The influence of silica on pore diameter and distribution in PLA scaffolds produced using supercritical CO sub(2)

Macroporous polylactide (PLA) scaffolds were fabricated using a supercritical CO sub(2) foaming process. The addition of silica particles to the polymer matrix resulted in a significant modification in the pore size distribution exhibited by the scaffold. In the absence of silica, the scaffolds cont...
