     porosity and interconnectivity are important properties of calcium phosphate cements (cpcs) and bone-replacement materials. porosity of cpcs can be achieved by adding polymeric biodegradable pore-generating particles (porogens), which can add porosity to the cpc and can also be used as a drug-delivery system. porosity affects the mechanical properties of cpcs, and hence is of relevance for clinical application of these cements. the current study focused on the effect of combinations of polymeric mesoporous porogens on the properties of a cpc, such as specific surface area, porosity and interconnectivity and the development of mechanical properties. cpc powder was mixed with different amounts of plga porogens of various molecular weights and porogen sizes. the major factors affecting the properties of the cpc were related to the amount of porogen loaded and the porogen size; the molecular weight did not show a significant effect per se. a minimal porogen size of 40 μm in 30 wt.% seems to produce a cpc with mechanical properties, porosity and interconnectivity suitable for clinical applications. the properties studied here, and induced by the porogen and cpc, can be used as a guide to evoke a specific host-response to maintain cpc integrity and to generate an explicit bone ingrowth.
