Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application with the application date of August 3, 2020, the application number of 202010766076.0, and the title of 'a three-dimensional porous microcarrier scaffold and a method for preparing the same by using ionic additives'. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to a three-dimensional porous microcarrier scaffold and a method for preparing the same by using ionic additives, belonging to the field of microcarrier material preparation. BACKGROUND

[0003] The three-dimensional porous tissue engineering scaffold material prepared by freeze-drying method can well maintain the biological activity of biological macromolecules in recent years. The addition of additives during the preparation of ice glue can regulate the formation process of ice crystals, thereby changing the pore size, hardness and other properties of the scaffold material. Among the existing methods, the use of salt particles for porosity is one of the schemes for increasing the pore size. The main principle is to rely on the space occupation of salt particles existing in the saturated salt solution to affect the formation of ice crystals, thereby increasing the pore size. However, the most important problem of this method is that the density of salt particles is not consistent with the density of the solution, and it will be affected by gravity during the cross-linking reaction process and will be gathered at the bottom of the material, thereby causing uneven distribution of the pore size. Moreover, when the salt ion concentration is low, a large number of particles with a certain volume cannot exist, and a high salt ion concentration will inhibit the chemical cross-linking reaction. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a kind of porosity additive that can be uniformly distributed in the ice glue pre-mixing solution, so as to obtain a scaffold material with large pore size and uniform pore distribution, which is the top priority for the development of tissue engineering products.
