Abstract
Uniaxial tensile test is the most commonly used method for determining the mechanical properties of the scaffold. Authors differ only in technical details of a particular test design.
Studies have been conducted, in which the electron microscope is used to compare structure of scaffolds or to establish cooperation with biological material. Pavia, et al. used SEM to observe the cross section of the scaffold [1].
Shi et al. used SEM for detecting connection of cells and scaffold [2]. In this paper, we used SEM to detect change of the scaffold's structure in connection with its mechanical loading in real time.
