The production of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering with provision of a controlled nano-topography remains a significant challenge Here we have combined an ice-microsphere templating technique with thermally induced phase separation, and by taking advantage of interactions between hydrophilic and hydrophobic phases. lined the pore walls with bacterial cellulose nano-whiskers The cryogenic technique we have developed not only allows the decoration of the pore walls of 3D porous forms with nano-whiskers but also enables the pore structure, Interconnects and surface area to be controlled. Moreover our novel combined solvent extraction and ice sublimation route presented herein preserves the frozen-in structure. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
