Mass absorption
Mass absorption was determined for the best scaffolds obtained from
PLLA. These scaffolds had the best internal morphology and mechanical
properties suitable for cartilage. The results obtained were compared
with suits obtained from PLLA obtained using PVP as a blowing agent. The
highest absorbability (Fig. 9) was observed in scaffoldings obtained by
the wet phase inversion method with a polymer nanofiber (545.2 ±
92.6%). Scaffolds obtained by wet (315.7 ± 7.2%) with PVP as a blowing
agent showed less water absorption. The lowest through dry phase
inversion (124.3 ± 12.1%).
