Comparison of minimal elastic modulus Emin(ρ0) for the scaffold designs under consideration.
| ρ0 = 0.13 | 0.13 |
| ρ0 = 0.75 | 0.45 |
| Optimization among constant ρ0 | 0.50 |
| Full optimization | 0.54 |
| Optimization among constant ρ0 (reduced bone regeneration) | 0.26 |
| Full optimization (reduced bone regeneration) | 0.36 |
| Reduced bone regeneration but ρ0 optimized for regular patient | 0.28 |
The values are normalized such that the scaffold material PCL has an elastic modulus of 1.
