This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of different preparation parameters, including agitation speed, time, and chilling temperature, on structural mechanical properties a novel gelatin/elastin/sodium hyaluronate tissue engineering scaffold, recently developed by our research group. Fabricated using combination foaming freeze-drying techniques, scaffolds were assessed understand how these parameters influence their morphology, internal microstructure, porosity, properties, degradation behavior. The fabrication process used in this study involved preparing homogeneous aqueous solution containing 8% gelatin, 2% elastin, 0.5% sodium (w/v), which was then subjected at speeds 500, 1000, 1500 rpm for durations 5, 15, 25 min. mixture subsequently frozen −20 °C −80 °C, followed cross-linking. Morphological analyses laser microscopy scanning electron (SEM) demonstrated that had pore sizes ranging from 100 300 µm, are conducive effective cell interaction regeneration. confirmed efficacy combined method creating highly interconnected porous structures. Our findings indicated temperature slightly influenced size. In contrast, higher longer duration times led increased porosity rate but decreased modulus. Mathematical estimators compressive modulus statistical analysis parameters. validated experimentally, with error between estimated experimental values being less than 6% 21%
