2.1 Gyaran Hanyar Casting Solvent/Particulate Leaching

Babban gyaran tsari shine hanyar bi da bi:

1. Shirye-shiryen Tarin Porogen: Ƙirƙirar barga, cikakken gadon barbashi na gishiri (misali, NaCl) tare da ƙayyadadden girman rarraba.
2. Kutsawa Magani: An yi hankali yada maganin PLA (misali, a cikin chloroform) cikin tarin gishiri, yana rufe barbashin ba tare da dagula tsarinsu ba.
3. Jiyya na Zafi (Annealing): An sanya haɗaɗɗiyar kayan zuwa zafi mai sarrafawa a yanayin zafi tsakanin madaidaicin canjin gilashi ($T_g$) da narkewa ($T_m$) na PLA. Wannan mataki yana ba da damar sarkokin polymer su sake tsarawa da kuma yin crystallization. Tsawon lokaci da zafin wannan mataki sune manyan masu canji don sarrafa crystallinity.
4. Particulate Leaching: Daga baya an narkar da barbashin gishiri ta amfani da wani sauran ƙarfi (misali, ruwa), yana barin kumfa na PLA mai rami tare da tsarin juzu'i na tarin gishiri.

Wannan hanyar tana kiyaye gine-ginen macro-porous da tarin gishiri ya ƙaddara yayin da take ba da damar daidaita kaddarorin micro-structural na polymer (crystallinity) da kansu.

2.2 Sarrafa Crystallinity ta hanyar Jiyya na Zafi

Ana sarrafa Crystallinity ($X_c$) ta tarihin zafi yayin matakin annealing. Ana iya ƙididdige matakin crystallinity ta amfani da bayanan Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC):

$X_c = \frac{\Delta H_m - \Delta H_{cc}}{\Delta H_m^0} \times 100\%$

Inda $\Delta H_m$ shine ma'aunin enthalpy na narkewa, $\Delta H_{cc}$ shine enthalpy na crystallization mai sanyi (idan akwai), kuma $\Delta H_m^0$ shine ka'idar enthalpy na narkewa don PLA crystalline 100% (yawanci ~93 J/g). Ta hanyar bambanta lokacin annealing da zafin jiki, binciken ya nuna ikon samar da scaffolds tare da kewayon ƙimar $X_c$.

Ƙuntataccen sarari da bangon rami ya sanya mai yiwuwa ya ƙuntata motsi mai nisa da daidaitawar sarkokin polymer da ake buƙata don samar da manyan crystals masu cikakkiya. Wannan yana haifar da ƙananan crystallites ko ƙaramin matakin gabaɗaya na crystallinity da za a iya samu a ƙarƙashin yanayin zafi iri ɗaya idan aka kwatanta da fim mai ƙarfi.

4. Cikakkun Bayanai na Fasaha & Tsarin Lissafi

Za a iya siffanta kinetics na crystallization a cikin wuraren da aka ƙuntata ta hanyar gyare-gyaren samfuran Avrami, waɗanda galibi suna nuna raguwar ma'auni na Avrami ($n$) don tsarin da aka ƙuntata, yana nuna canji a cikin girman girma na crystal. Hakanan ana shafar ma'aunin ƙimar $k$:

$1 - X(t) = \exp(-k t^n)$

Inda $X(t)$ shine juzu'in girma na crystallized a lokacin $t$. A cikin tsarin mai rami, $n$ yana ƙoƙarin raguwa, yana nuna cewa an hana girma crystal zuwa 1D ko 2D maimakon girma 3D da ake gani a cikin babba. Bugu da ƙari, ana iya ƙirƙira alaƙar da ke tsakanin crystallinity da ƙimar lalacewa ta hanyar sauƙaƙaƙan lissafi tare da la'akari da lalatawar saman da hydrolysis na gabaɗaya, inda yankunan crystalline ke aiki azaman shinge ga yaduwar ruwa, yana rage lalacewa. Samfurin da aka sauƙaƙa don lokacin lalacewa ($t_d$) zai iya zama:

$t_d \propto \frac{1}{D_{eff}} \propto \frac{1}{(1 - X_c) \cdot D_a + X_c \cdot D_c}$

Inda $D_{eff}$ shine ingantaccen ma'aunin yaduwar ruwa, $D_a$ da $D_c$ sune ma'auni na yaduwa a yankunan amorphous da crystalline, bi da bi ($D_c << D_a$).
