The diameters of the COL and COL-HANF scaffolds were measured both before and after cross-linking treatment to quantify the degree of shrinkage of the scaffolds during cross-linking. The shrinkage ratio of a scaffold was calculated by the following equation [23]:
where Db and Da are the diameter of the scaffold before and after cross-linking treatment, respectively.
