Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) Porous Matrices from Thermally Induced Phase Separation

Abstract: Thermally induced phase separation followed by freeze drying has been used to prepare biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with interconnected 3D microporous structures from poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) copolymers containing 5 and 12 wt % of 3-hydroxyvalerate (HV). Solutions of PHBV in 1,4-dioxane, underwent phase separation by cooling under two different thermal gradients (at −25 °C and −5 °C). The cloud point and crystallization temperature of the polymer solutions were determined by … Show more

“…Nowadays, many variations concerning TIPS methodology have been developed by altering process parameters [ 46 , 51 , 65 ], using different solvents [ 140 ] or combining the process with other technologies. One of these variations is focused to increase the pores size of the scaffold by adding porogen particles, which can be removed from the system after freeze-drying in a subsequent leaching step.…”
