Design and production of sintered β-tricalcium phosphate 3D scaffolds for bone ...
Santos, Carlos Filipe Lopes; Silva, Abílio P.; Lopes, Luís; Pires, Inês; Correia, Ilídio Joaquim SobreiraThe characteristics of sintered β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds produced by 3D printing were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, uniaxial compression tests and cytotoxicity tests, using human osteoblast cells. The results reported include details of the β-TCP scaffolds' porosity, density, phase stability, mechanical behavior and ...
Design and production of sintered B [beta]-tricalcium phosphate 3D scaffolds fo...
Santos, Carlos Filipe LopesIn the past decade, Tissue Engineering has emerged as a promising approach to orthopedic healing. By combining biomaterials, cells and/or growth factors, some Tissue Engineering methodologies have been used in bone or cartilage regeneration. However, the production of an ideal scaffold to support bone tissue regeneration still raises many questions in the scientific community, not only in terms of conceptual de...
