چکیده
Guide regeneration techniques have been recently used to heal soft and hard tissue defects. In this approach, scaffolding plays an important role. Hydroxypatite (HA) resembles the natural bone mineral and has shown good bone bonding properties. In this work, porous polyurethanes have been prepared by a thermally induced phase separation technique. Freeze drying of the separated polymer/solvent phase produced foams with co-continuous structure of interconnected pores. The microstructure can be controlled by varying polymer concentration, quenching temperature, and co-solvent utilized. This homogenizing technique can lead to the preparation of porous materials with controllable and reproducible morphology. SEM analysis showed that the pore size range varied from a few microns to a few hundred microns. Due to the interconnected pores, and their biocompatibility and bioactivity; they are promising scaffolds for bone – tissue engineering.

متن کاملAdhesion-induced lateral phase separation of multicomponent membranes: the effect of repellers and confinement.
We present a theoretical study of adhesion-induced lateral phase separation for a membrane with short stickers, long stickers, and repellers confined between two hard walls. The effects of confinement and repellers on lateral phase separation are investigated. We find that the critical potential depth of the stickers for lateral phase separation increases as the distance between the hard walls ...
