Published: January 2014

Vitality of yeast cells maintained in an aqueous sol-gel solution containing titanium tetraisopropoxide and glucose. The living cells and their metabolites acted as the porogens for a channel-like TiO2 precursor. Further processing of the precursor offered a channel-like meso/macroporous TiO2, a potential anode material for Li-ion battery.

Pore structure plays an important role in the in vivo osteogenesis for bone repair materials. In this study, honeycomb β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds were prepared by extrusion method, and gelatin microspheres were used as porogens to modify the pore structure of the scaffolds. The honeycomb β-TCP scaffolds were characterized by channel-like square macropores and unidirectional interconnection.
