A novel process for the prepn. of highly porous biomaterials by foam templating is illustrated. In detail, this method consists of insufflating under stirring an inert gas into a concd. soln. of a hydrophilic polymer in the presence of a suitable surfactant. In the lecture, the versatility of this approach to the synthesis of porous materials made of both natural and/or synthetic polymers is illustrated as well as their potentiality in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
A novel process for the prepn. of highly porous biomaterials by foam templating is illustrated. In detail, this method consists of insufflating under stirring an inert gas into a concd. soln. of a hydrophilic polymer in the presence of a suitable surfactant. In the lecture, the versatility of this approach to the synthesis of porous materials made of both natural and/or synthetic polymers is illustrated as well as their potentiality in the field of tissue engineering.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
