Schematic detailing the alginate-leached polymerized high internal phase emulsions synthesis. A 90% internal phase volume HIPE is synthesized by adding water to the continuous phase. Alginate beads are produced by injecting an alginate solution to calcium chloride and sieving. Alginate beads are then mixed into HIPEs at either 0, 50 or 100 wt% of the HIPE. Emulsions are then UV polymerized, washed in acetone and the alginate dissolved using sodium citrate. Macropores within the bulk of the polyHIPE left by alginate beads are clearly visible in the 50 and 100 wt% scaffolds.
