Scaffolds with multimodal pore structure are essential to cells differentiation and proliferation in bone tissue engineering. Bi-/multi-modal porous PLGA/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds were prepared by supercritical CO
2
foaming in which hydroxyapatite acted as heterogeneous nucleation agent. Bimodal porous scaffolds were prepared under certain conditions
i.e. hydroxyapatite addition of 5%
depressurization rate of 0.3 MPa·min
-1
soaking temperature of 55℃
and pressure of 9 MPa. And scaffolds presented specific structure of small pores (122 μm±66 μm) in the cellular walls of large pores (552 μm±127 μm). Furthermore
multimodal porous PLGA scaffolds with micro-pores (37 μm±11 μm) were obtained at low soaking pressure of 7.5 MPa. The interconnected porosity of scaffolds ranged from (52.53±2.69)% to (83.08±2.42)% by adjusting depressurization rate
while compression modulus satisfied the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Solvent-free CO

foaming method is promising to fabricate bi-/multi-modal porous scaffolds in one step
and bioactive particles for osteogenesis could serve as nucleation agents.
