Intermediate‐Stage Sintered LLZO Scaffolds for Li‐Garnet Solid‐State Batteries

Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/titania composite microsphere-sintered scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.

The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize novel three-dimensional porous scaffolds made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/nano-TiO(2)-particle composite microspheres for potential bone repair applications. The introduction of TiO(2) component has been proven capable of largely enhancing mechanical properties of PLGA/TiO(2) microsphere-sintered scaffold ("PLGA/TiO(2)-S...

Liquid Phase Sintered Ceramic Bone Scaffolds by Combined Laser and Furnace

Fabrication of mechanically competent bioactive scaffolds is a great challenge in bone tissue engineering. In this paper, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds were successfully fabricated by selective laser sintering combined with furnace sintering. Bioglass 45S5 was introduced in the process as liquid phase in order to improve the mechanical and biological properties. The results showed th...

Correlation between properties and microstructure of laser sintered porous β-tricalcium phosphate bone scaffolds

A porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramic scaffold was successfully prepared with our homemade selective laser sintering system. Microstructure observation by a scanning electron microscope showed that the grains grew from 0.21 to 1.32 μm with the decrease of laser scanning speed from 250 to 50 mm min-1. The mechanical properties increased mainly due to the improved apparent density wh...

Selective Laser Sintered Poly(L-Lactide)/Carbonated Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposite Scaffolds: A Bottom-up Approach

The main objective of this research is to study the feasibility of using the selective laser sintering (SLS) technology to fabricate 3D porous scaffolds from poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(L-lactide)/carbonated hydroxyapatite (PLLA/CHAp) nanocomposite for bone tissue engineering applications. There are great demands for tissue engineering (TE) and ideal tissue engineering scaffolds should poss...
