Dimensional characterization of the 3D printed PCL-rGO scaffolds. (a) A schematic of the 3D printed structures describing the structure pattern, strand diameter, and pore size from two fields of view. (b) A representative image of the measurement process in using the ImageJ macro code. The yellow lines represent the borders of the strands and the green lines represent the borders of the pore areas. The dashed red line indicates the average angle of each strand or pore area. The yellow or green perpendicular line is a representative line of the width that is measured specifying the strand diameter or pore size, respectively. (c) The measured strand diameters and pore sizes in comparison to their respective theoretical values. Results are presented as mean ± SD.
