Foaming of thermoplastics is an area of significant research interest. The substitution of any
solid polymer with its foamed counterparts not only results in the lowering of material and …

Tissue engineering provides a novel and promising approach to replace damaged tissue
with an artificial substitute. Porous synthetic biodegradable polymers are the preferred …

Chondral defects pose a great challenge for clinicians to manage owing to the limited
capacity for self-healing. Various traditional approaches have been adopted for the repair of …

This paper studies the processing, structural, and property relationships needed for highly
expanded open‐cell polycarbonate (PC) foams. Acoustic insulation, thermal conductivity …

Written for students, professors, and professionals, this book covers biofoams and porous
systems. Topics include bio-based polymers for the development of biodegradable and …

Abstract Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a common porogen to be used in preparing porous
scaffolds in tissue engineering. However, NaCl particles are easily broken during melt …

Porous materials is a fascinating field. In the past, pores were considered defects in the solid
structure, but since their first dedicated use in 17th century, porous materials have become …

Open-cell foam materials have many applications such as sound and thermal insulators,
filter and separation membranes, scaffolds, battery electrode supports, and printing heads …
