Abstract

In this study, the nanoscale transformation of the polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) internal structure, before and after its supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) swelling and plasticization, followed by foaming after a CO2 pressure drop, was studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for the first time. A comparative analysis of the internal structure data and porosity measurements for PLGA scaffolds, produced by sc-CO2 processing, on a scale ranging from 0.02 to 1000 μm, was performed by SAXS, helium pycnometry (HP), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and both “lab-source” and synchrotron X-ray microtomography (micro-CT). This approach opens up possibilities for the wide-scale evaluation, computer modeling, and prediction of the physical and mechanical properties of PLGA scaffolds, as well as their biodegradation behavior in the body. Hence, this study targets optimizing the process parameters of PLGA scaffold fabrication for specific biomedical applications.
