The evaluation of scaffold design involves several techniques, such as:
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Used to examine the surface morphology and pore structure of the scaffold. Mechanical Testing: Measures the mechanical properties like tensile strength and elasticity. Biological Assays: Assess cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation on the scaffold. In Vivo Studies: Evaluate the scaffold's performance in a living organism, including biocompatibility and tissue integration.
