Abstract:
Presented in this article are systematic microstructural and mechanical property data for anisotropic collagen scaffolds made by freeze casting. Three applied cooling rates (10 °C/min, 1 °C/min, 0.1 °C/min) and two freezing directions (longitudinal and radial) were used during scaffold manufacture. Utilizing a semi-automated image analysis technique applied to confocal micrographs of fully hydrated scaffolds, pore area, long and short pore axes, and pore aspect ratio were determined. Compression testing was performed to determine scaffold modulus, yield strength, and toughness.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
