The objective of the present study is to characterize PLGA and atelocollagen type 2 (PLGA-A) hybrid scaffolds in terms of swelling capacity, thermal properties and mechanical strength. PLGA without atelocollagen was used as control.Porous PLGA scaffold is fabricated via salt leaching/ solvent-cast...
