FIG. 2.
Physical properties of porous scaffold. (A) Comparison of water vapor transmission rate of the bare and hybrid scaffolds. (B) Comparison of swelling percentage of the bare and hybrid scaffolds. The water vapor transmission rate of the bare PLGC and the hybrid PLGC are in the same range with values of 2789±220·gm−2·d−1 and 2295±111 g·m−2·d−1, respectively. The transmission has reduced significantly upon the fibrin matrix deposition but both values are in the same range required. For each parameter, data from replicate experiment was compiled and average±standard deviation (SD) (n=4) are shown. *p<0.05.
