Popis: In this study, layer structured porous chitosan scaffold was successfully fabricated using thermal induced phase separation method. The scaffold had a layer structure with interconnective pores (50- 300 μm) and high porosity (>90%) using citric or acetic acid as the solvent. However, the results of compressive modulus of the scaffold showed that acetic acid was a better choice, and the compressive modulus of scaffold increased with chitosan concentration in acetic acid. The scaffold is very promising for tissue engineering.
