The Scaffold

Structural Properties

Fibre scaffolds

  • Large surface area:volume ratio
  • High porosity
  • Add strength to composites
  • Tubular (nerve, blood vessel, intestine)
  • Solid
  • Applications:
    • Wound repair: sutures
    • Skin tissue engineering
    • Cartilage tissue engineering
    • Cardiovascular
