Fuzzy VIKOR Optimization for Designing High Performance Hydroxyapatite/Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Engineering

Polycaprolactone Scaffolds Fabricated via Bioextrusion for Tissue Engineering Applications

The most promising approach in Tissue Engineering involves the seeding of porous, biocompatible/biodegradable scaffolds, with donor cells to promote tissue regeneration. Additive biomanufacturing processes are increasingly recognized as ideal techniques to produce 3D structures with optimal pore size and spatial distribution, providing an adequate mechanical support for tissue regeneration whil...

Biodegradable PCL scaffolds with an interconnected spherical pore network for tissue engineering.

A technique for producing controlled interconnected porous structures for application as a tissue engineering scaffold is presented in this article. The technique is based on the fabrication of a template of interconnected poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) microspheres, the introduction of a biodegradable polymer, poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL), and the elimination of the template by a selective...

Precision extruding deposition (PED) fabrication of polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Bone tissue engineering is an emerging field providing viable substitutes for bone regeneration. Recent advances have allowed scientists and engineers to develop scaffolds for guided bone growth. However, success requires scaffolds to have specific macroscopic geometries and internal architectures conducive to biological and biophysical functions. Freeform fabrication provides an effective proc...
