23 Jul NOVEL TECHNIQUE TO FABRICATE MOLDED STRUCTURES HAVING A PATTERNED POROSITY
Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for fabricating molded structures having a radially organized pore structure. The molded structures are formed using a spinning-induced sedimentation technique such that sedimentation of a multi-component liquid suspension produces the internal geometry and porosity of the structure. The porous molded structures of the invention can be used in a number of applications including tissue and organ engineering, dialysis and phase separation membranes and water and liquid waste purification systems.
