Table 1 Comparison of mean pore size, porosity, water uptake ability and mechanical property of different scaffolds
From: Fibroin and fibroin blended three-dimensional scaffolds for rat chondrocyte culture
Types of the scaffold | Mean pore size (μm) ± SD | % Porosity ± SD | % Water uptake ± SD | Compressive modulus (kPa) ± SD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
SF | 65 ± 16 | 89 ± 0 | 92 ± 1 | 148 ± 12 |
SF/C | 93 ± 21 | 61 ± 10 | 95 ± 1 | 1532 ± 697 |
SF/G | 80 ± 28 | 61 ± 5 | 89 ± 3 | 364 ± 47 |
