Biodegradable foams Of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) for tissue engineering were fabricated by a porogen-leaching technique using ice microparticulates as the porogen material. PLLA or PLGA solution in chloroform was mixed with ice microparticulates. The mixtures were frozen by being placed in molds in liquid nitrogen and freeze-dried to form the foams. Scanning electron microscopic observation of the PLLA and PLGA foams showed that evenly distributed and interconnected pore structures were formed in these foams. The porosity and surface area of the foams increased with an increase in the weight fraction of the ice microparticulates, while the median pore size remained unchanged. The pore structures of the foams could be manipulated by controlling processing variables such as the size and weight fraction of the ice microparticulates and polymer concentration.
