| Abstract: | Summary: Paper describes basic characteristics of synthesis and properties of aliphatic polyesters used for tissue engineering. Described is also synthesis of polyester containing block copolymers suitable for surface modification. Described are methods used for scaffold fabrication with required porosity. In particular, presented are methods according to which scaffolds are made from prefabricated polyester micro- and nanoparticles. |
