Hi,
I prepared solvent of PHBV and PLGA in methylene chloride. The resulting slurry was then cast into a Petri dish and dried. The resulting film was used to fabricate composite scaffolds using the rapid prototyping device. Is there any physicochemical data which tell which of two polymers will be on the surface after the 3D printing?
Thanks!

Hi Karol,
you can try to implement AFM phase-contrast imaging. With this approach you should be able to discriminate between amorphous and crystalline areas of the tested surface. I presume that in your case amorphous phase can be attributed to PLGA, whereas crystalline phase to PHBV.
good luck!
