I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas. I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas. Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.

Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
What other type of tests can be conducted to ensure the TPU material is ideal and to ensure the infusion of Islet beta cells which encapsulated within the scaffold will occur to provide a functional pancreas.
