SEM images of PCLT–CA scaffolds. Polycaprolactone triol–citrate (PCLT–CA) polymer was processed into scaffolds by solvent-casting/particulate leaching method by using sieved NaCl particles and EtOH as a solvent. A, B PCLT–CA scaffolds were cut in uniform dimensions as presented in for SEM surface morphology observation, prior and after the seeding with chondrocyte cells. C Chondrocytes showed rounded shape of in PCLT–CA scaffold which is similar to the cell shape in native cartilage
