Effects of molecular weight on macropore sizes and characterization of porous hydroxyapatite ceramics fabricated using polyethylene glycol: mechanisms to generate macropores and tune their sizes
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a raw material used to fabricate scaffolds. Scaffolds are required to be porous to facilitate nutrient flow and vascularization. This study aims to produce porous HAp ceramics with macropores (>200 μm) and bioactivity and tune their macropore size. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weights of 400, 3,400, and 8,300 was used to generate macropores. The macropore size increased as the molecular weight of PEG...
