## Abstract Porous scaffolds composed of collagen or collagen and elastin were prepared by freeze drying at temperatures between β18 and β196Β°C. All scaffolds had a porosity of 90β98% and a homogeneous distribution of pores. Freeze drying at β18Β°C afforded collagen and collagen/elastin matrices wit
