Abstract

The fabrication and characterization of porous scaffolds for use in drug delivery which release effective amounts of TGF-β3 was studied. The density of both PCL and NaCl were determined by densitometry using micromeritics Accupyc 1330. The study suggests that a porous PCL carrier was made from salt leaching of NaCl particles. This carrier was able to control release of TGF-β3 in 4 days and continue the release of TGF-β3 very slowly up to 11 days.
