23 Jul METHOD OF PREPARING POROUS POLYMER SCAFFOLD FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING USING GEL SPINNING TECHNIQUE
Abstract
A method of preparing porous polymer is provided to improve a cell seeding efficiency by a uniform size of a gap and excellent interconnectedness between gaps, and to prepare simply porous polymer scaffold appropriate for a tissue engineering by an excellent mechanical strength. The method comprises the steps of: manufacturing polymer solution by melting biocompatible polymers in organic solvents; forming polymer gel from non-solvent solutions by spinning the polymer solution obtained in the pre-step to non-solvent stirred by a rotating shaft; forming porous polymer scaffold by making the polymer gel formed in the pre-step wound on the rotating shaft; and removing the organic solvents by drying the porous polymer scaffold obtained in the pre-step.
