A series of poly (D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) directional macroporous cell scaffolds were prepared via improved thermal induced phase separation (TIPS) and freeze-drying technique and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of PDLLA initial concentrations, temperature gradients and lyophilization process on scaffolds morphology and pore structure were investigated. The results show that the PDLLA initial concentrations and the gradients of temperature determine the pore channel distribution, porosity and pore diameter of the cell scaffolds, while the lyophilization method determines the orientation morphology. 5% PDLLA directional macroporous scaffolds prepared by the improved method under 0 ℃ have the best morphology, with higher porosity (90.3%), bigger pore size (342±28 μm) and moderate wall thichness (10 μm). And the biological properties results show that the PDLLA scaffolds can be degraded in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and have good biocompatibility.
