Mechanical and in vitro performance of 13–93 bioactive glass scaffolds prepared by a polymer foam replication technique

A polymer foam replication technique was used to prepare porous scaffolds of 13–93 bioactive glass with a microstructure similar to that of human trabecular bone. The scaffolds, with a porosity of 85 ± 2% and pore size of 100–500 μm, had a compressive strength of 11 ± 1 MPa, and an elastic modulus o...
