23 Jul FIBRE-REINFORCED SCAFFOLD
Abstract
The invention provides a fibre-reinforced scaffold for tissue engineering. The scaffold comprises a matrix comprising a biocompatible polymer, the matrix having a, porous structure; and discrete, macroscopic fibres embedded within the matrix, wherein the fibres are oriented such that at least one mechanical property of the scaffold is anisotropic. The invention further relates to fibre-reinforced films and to processes for producing such scaffolds and films.
