Results of mercury intrusion porosimetry testing
| Polymer concentration | Percent porosity |
|---|---|
| Control | 23 ± 9 |
| 0.25% | 62 ± 5 |
| 1% | 49 ± 2 |
| 2% | 49 ± 2 |
Three scaffolds were used per group. Porosimetry shows hybrid scaffolds maintained high porosity after nanofiber precipitation procedure. Maintaining high porosity has been shown to be critical in nutrient and waste exchange.
