Fig. 3.
Compressive modulus as a function of pore morphology for all compositions examined (PCL-only, HA15, HA30, Dual gradient). Small-pore (0.2 mm) scaffolds demonstrated significantly higher compressive moduli than all other groups, while medium-pore (0.5 mm) and large-pore (0.9 mm) scaffolds were statistically similar. Moduli for single and dual gradient scaffolds were also similar to the medium and large pore scaffolds. Groups with the same letter are not statistically different (p > 0.05). n = 5 scaffolds for all groups.
