The micro-computed tomography (-CT) images reflecting surface topography were acquired for the multilayered tubular scaffold using a Bruker Skyscan 1272 (Germany) apparatus. The tensile strength and elongation at break were determined for tubular scaffolds prepared as 3cm long tubes. Samples were securely placed between the jaws of a mechanical testing device at room temperature. The testing procedure was conducted in two stages; a) the initial elongation from 0% to 1%
