Macroporous hydrogels of dual porosity based on cross-linked poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) were prepared, and their swelling, mechanical responses, and hydraulic permeability, as well as cell adhesion and proliferation, were examined on gel-based scaffolds. Large pores on the order of tens and hundreds of microns were generated by adding a solid porogen (fractionated particles of sodium chloride) to the polymerization mixture, which was subsequently washed out of the gel. Small pores on the order of a few microns were formed by the reaction-induced phase separation mechanism caused by addition of a diluent (1-dodecanol), which is a poor solvent for pHEMA. Morphological studies using light and electron microscopy techniques revealed that the large pores were embedded in the pHEMA matrix containing small fused spherical pores. Mechanical behavior of the dual-porosity hydrogels characterized by oscillatory shear measurements revealed that despite very high pore volume, the hydrogels were sufficiently stiff and self-supportive. The cell cultivation pilot experiment showed that the morphology (dual porosity) demonstrated marked effects on the promotion of cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation, not only on the gel surface but in the large pores within the gel bulk as well.
