Mechanical performance of three-dimensional bio- nanocomposite scaffolds designed with digital light processing for biomedical applications
Introduction: The need for biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds to accelerate the regeneration and repair of fractured bones has been considered for bone tissue engineering applications during recent decades. The new methods were developed to produce scaffolds to improve the tissue quality, size of cavities, control the porosity and increase the scaffold compressive strength u...
متن کاملPressure-Activated Microsyringe Composite Scaffold of Poly(L-lactic acid) and Carbon Nanotubes for Bone Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering is an innovative interdisciplinary field in which bioengineers and life scientists try to regenerate and reproduce natural tissues through the use of biodegradable structures, called scaffolds, with the aim of mimicking the specific tissue extracellular matrix (ECM). Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer a natural platform for obtaining composite microfabricated scaffolds thanks to t...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube interaction with extracellular matrix proteins producing scaffolds for tissue engineering
In recent years, significant progress has been made in organ transplantation, surgical reconstruction, and the use of artificial prostheses to treat the loss or failure of an organ or bone tissue. In recent years, considerable attention has been given to carbon nanotubes and collagen composite materials and their applications in the field of tissue engineering due to their minimal foreign-body ...
متن کاملPCL-CNT nano-composites for bone tissue engineering application
Bone injuries and defects, caused by trauma, malformation, osteoporosis and tumours, are therapeutically challenging. Autografts and allografts are ideal treatment approaches for bone regeneration. However, they may be associated with a number of complications, and outcomes are variable. Therefore, bone substitute biomaterials, which not only effectively solved the problem of limited supply, bu...

متن کاملThe Use of Carbon Nanotubes to Reinforce 45S5 Bioglass-Based Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications
Bioglass has been used for bone-filling material in bone tissue engineering, but its lean mechanical strength limits its applications in load-bearing positions. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their high aspect ratio and excellent mechanical properties, have the potential to strengthen and toughen bioactive glass material without offsetting its bioactivity. Therefore, in this research, multiwall ...
