Abstract:A novel selective leaching method for the porogenization of the biodegradable scaffolds was developed. Continuous, predetermined pore structure was prepared by dissolving fast eroding poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐based poly(ester‐anhydride) fibers from the photo‐crosslinked poly(ε‐caprolactone) matrix. The porogen fibers dissolved in the phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 37 °C) within a week, resulting in the porosity that replicated exactly the single fiber dimensions and the overall arrangement of the fibers. The amount of the porosity, estimated with micro‐CT, corresponded with the initial amount of the fibers. The potential to include bioactive agents in the porogen fibers was demonstrated with the bioactive glass.
