The aim is to produce solvent cast scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The prices for solution and powder forms of the materials differ drastically. That's why beforeI buy the raw materials I want to be sure of this detail. Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Dilan
Please see these References, could help you

Thank you
Hi Dilan,
How do the prices differ? In principle I would suggest you to buy the powders and prepare the solutions by yourself. This would give you at least two main advantages: (1) you'd be able to tailor the concentration of the solutions to your need and (2) try different solvent systems.
Hope this helps.

Hi Dilan,
I would favor powders in case you want to be free to work with different solvents. Besides, you can adjust the solution concentrations that may affect the end mechanical properties of the scaffold. You can as well use some other materials like sodium chloride particles in solid form and mix it with the powder to increase the porosity. In the end, you can wash sodium chloride with a poor solvent like water.
I hope it works for you.
