## Abstract Highly porous functional scaffolds were obtained from linear and cross‐linked multifunctional poly(ε‐caprolactone) and poly(L‐lactide). The polymers were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone and L‐lactide using poly(but‐2‐ene‐1,4‐diyl malonate) (PBM) as macroinit

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
This work describes the formation of porous composite materials based on a combination of bioactive mesoporous silicon and bioerodible polymers such as poly‐caprolactone (PCL). The fabrication of a range of composites prepared by both salt leaching and microemulsion techniques are discussed. Particular attention to the influence of Si content in the composite on in vitro calcification assays are assessed. For each system, cytotoxicity and cellular proliferation are explicitly evaluated through fibroblast cell culture assays. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
