Polymer supports have received much attention as a microenvironment for cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The three-dimensional scaffold structure provides support for high level of tissue organization and remodeling. Regeneration of different tissues, such as bone, cartilage, skin, nerves, or blood vessels, is investigated using such constructs. Superporous PHEMA constructs were prepared by bulk radical copolymerization of HEMA and EDMA in the presence of NaCl or/and liquid diluent (CyOH/DOH) or (NH4)2SO4 crystals. Morphology of the prepared scaffolds was characterized by several methods including scanning electron microscopy both in swollen (LVSEM) and dry (HVSEM) state, solvent (water and cyclohexane) regains, high- and low-pressure mercury porosimetry of lyophilized samples, and dynamic desorption of nitrogen.
