SEM morphologies of the β-TCP porous scaffolds with different concentration and coating times: (a) 35TCP2, (b) 35TCP3, (c) 40TCP2, (d) 40TCP3, (e) 45TCP2, (f) 45TCP3, (g) 50TCP2, and (h) 50TCP3. In the abbreviation, the number in front signifies the concentration (w/v%) of β-TCP powder included in slurry, and the number in back signifies the repetition number of immersion in slurry for fabrication of scaffold.
