Elastic scaffolds composed of sodium alginate( SA) and chitosan( CS) were fabricated via electrostatic interaction between —COOH,—NH2groups and phase separation technique. This study presented the influence of freezing temperature,solid content on pore size and molar ratio on mechanical strength,hydrophilicity,biodegradability and biocompatibility. The results showed that average pore size of alginate / chitosan scaffolds fabricated from 2%( mass fraction) solid content and at a freezing temperature of-24 ℃ was between110 and 170 μm. High swelling ratio of more than 1400% showed the excellent hydrophilic performance of these scaffolds. Degradation of the alginate / chitosan scaffolds could be modified by varying the molar ratio( —COOH / —NH2). The mechanical strength of the scaffolds could be controlled by different molar ratios and solid contents. The scaffolds exhibited good elastic behavior and fatigue durability by cyclic mechanical test in wet state. In vitro culture of rabbit adipose-derived stem cells( r ASCs) indicated that aggregated r ASCs were formed in the scaffolds when the molar ratios were 2 ∶ 1 and 1 ∶ 1,while adherent r ASCs were found in the scaffolds with molar ratio of 1 ∶ 2. Hence cellular adhesion behavior can be regulated by varying scaffold component.
