INTRODUCTION TO PROCESSING OF BIOMATERIALS - Advanced Biomaterials: Fundamentals, Processing, and Applications - page 265

in combination with cells have been applied for the regeneration of musculoskel-
etal tissue.
The chapter by Ashok Kumar (Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India)
and co-workers describes a novel processing technique applicable to polymeric
systems for the generation of supramacroporous biomaterials. The chapter
discusses the processing technique — known as “ cryogelation ” — and discusses
various polymeric systems that have been used for the synthesis of cryogels, along
with their applications.
