Abstract :
A new method for preparing 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering applications with highly controlled micro and nanotopography have been developed. A combination of UV and electron beam lithography was employed for master fabrication and nanoimprint lithography for the preparation of the 3D polymeric scaffolds.
