Micro-CT 3D reconstructions of (A) a PDLLA–TCP–PCL and (B) mPCL–TCP composite (height 20 ​mm, diameter 18 ​mm). (C) Compressive stiffness values averaged 446 ​N/mm (SD ​= ​66.3) for mPCL–TCP and 418 ​N/mm for PDLLA–TCP–PCL (SD ​= ​88.1) scaffolds; (D) the elastic modulus 22.17 ​MPa (SD = 3.0) and 24.70 ​MPa (SD ​= ​3.3). (E) Porosity was determined to be 70.55% for mPCL-TCP (SD ​= ​3.78) composites and 43.76% for PDLLA–TCP-PCL (SD ​= ​10.02) composites as determined by micro-CT analysis. Error bars represent standard deviations, n ​= ​6 (Reichert ​et al., 2011) ​(No color used in print. Two-column fitting image.).
