    Abstract:

Applications: Porous scaffolds of biodegradable polymers play an important role in tissue engineering to control cell functions and guide formation of new tissues and organs. Polymeric porous scaffolds are prepared using various techniques, most of which are multi-step processes and involve dissolution of preformed polymer into organic solvent or melting to develop the scaffold. In contrast, emulsion templating in the form of high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) is a single step process but it has been developed only for vinylic monomers in which polymerization is conducted using free radical polymerization methodology. Emulsion templating has not been carried out for cyclic monomers including lactones in which polymerization is via ring-opening. The current invention relates to formation of 3D porous scaffolds based on aliphatic polyesters via a single step ring opening polymerization process in a HIPE mode using sensitive catalysts in a non-inert atmosphere.
Advantages: 1. Polymerization of cyclic monomers e.g. lactones, lactides and carbonates under HIPE mode 2. Single-step process to obtain 3D porous scaffold 3. A 3D porous scaffold of intricate 3D shape is obtained which is suitable for variety of applications 4. A control on the pore size and interconnectedness is obtained by the process

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
