Abstract

A method for preparing porous hydrogel scaffolds suitable for bioengineering applications based on colloidal-crystal templating is demonstrated. Templated scaffolds are shown to have highly interconnected porosities at moderate void fractions due to their ordered arrangement of voids, and thus combine abundant pathways for cell migration (see Figure) and mass transport with compressive moduli comparable to soft tissues.
