Preparation of Cylinder-Shaped Porous Sponges of Poly(L-lactic acid), Poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid), and Poly( -caprolactone)

Figure 4

Young’s modulus of cylinder-shaped PLLA, PLGA, and PCL sponges prepared with 150–250 μm NaCl particulates (a) and cylinder-shaped PLLA sponges prepared with 90–150 μm, 150–250 μm, and 250–355 μm NaCl particulates (b). The ratio of polymer to NaCl was 1 : 9. The data represent the mean ± SD of six samples.
