Microwaves speed up producing scaffold foams with designed porosity from water glass

Low-cost, porous, and mechanically resilient structures are required for bone replacement and tissue engineering applications. Numerous materials have been proposed, but few reached clinical efficacy. Starting from sodium silicate solution (water glass; WG), we developed a rapid fabrication route by...
