The objectives of this study were to visually examine the surface and interior morphology of a new class of biodegradable hydrogels based on dextran-methacrylate and to quantify the porous structure of these hydrogels in swollen state. Two techniques (scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusi

## Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is a widely used technique for characterizing the distribution of pore sizes in cement-based materials. It is a simple and quick indirect technique, but it has limitations when applied to materials that have irregular pore geometry. The relationship between M
Mercury Porosimetry (MP) hysteresis is a commonly observed phenomenon in which mercury retention disguises further the overall hysteresis picture. This article introduces a new interpretation of the MP hysteresis based on the combined effect of pore structure networking and mercury contact angle var
## Abstract Two poly(Lβlactideβ__co__βΟ΅βcaprolactone) random copolymers containing 5 and 40 mol % of Ο΅βCL, namely P(LAβ__co__βCL~5~) and P(LAβ__co__βCL~40~), respectively, have been made macroporous by freezeβdrying solutions in dimethylcarbonate. Most of the freezeβdried foams, prepared by varying
