AB - A study of the morphorlogy and surface chemistry of poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) substrates, fabricated into two different structures, was presented. A 3D, porous, foam-like scaffold prepared by the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method and flat polymer thin films made by solvent casting was studied. A method to assess the wettability of wet pore wall surfaces inside highly porous 3D structures, which was based on the maximum bubble point test, was developed and tested. The results show that PDLLA contains acidic functional groups and is hydrophobic.
