Preparation of starch-based scaffolds for tissue engineering by supercritical immersion precipitation

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of preparing starch-based porous matrixes using supercritical fluid technology. Supercritical immersion precipitation technique was used to prepare scaffolds of a polymeric blend of starch and poly(l-lactic acid) for tissue engineering purposes.I...
