## Abstract The influence of variant pore‐size and porosity on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of poly‐ε‐caprolactone (PCL) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite were examined for an optimal scaffold in bone tissue engineering. Three various amounts of sodium chloride (NaCl, as porogen
