New Method for Preparation of Biodegradable Medical Materials Characterised by Highly Developed Porous Structures

Abstract

This study addresses the preparation of biodegradable and highly porous materials with the chemical purity required for medical materials. The solution method for producing porous structures with table salt was modified through the application of plasticisers in the technological process. In this paper the term medical materials includes dressing and implantable materials as well as scaffolds for tissue culture. A new method is proposed using polymers such as poly(D,L-lactide) and dibutyrylchitin to produce porous structures with enhanced absorption properties.
