Novel 3D scaffolds of chitosan-PLLA blends for tissue engineering applications : preparation and characterization

This work addresses the preparation of 3D porous scaffolds of blends of chitosan and poly(l-lactic acid), CHT and PLLA, using supercritical fluid technology. Supercritical assisted phase-inversion was used to prepare scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. The physicochemical and biological prope...
