Evaluation of the effects of alumina nanowire on 3D printed polycaprolactone / magnetic mesoporous bioactive glass scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications

A comprehensive review on the biomedical frontiers of nanowire applications

“…In scaffolds, nanowires such as silicon are quite a known material. Because of their electrical properties and nanostructure, SiNWs are utilized in sensor networks and scaffolds for tissue regeneration [ 451 ]. They can be used in combination with biodegradable polymers to simulate bone and other human tissue architectures.…”

Bone tissue engineering for osteointegration: Where are we now?

“…Three-dimensional printing (3D) is a promising future technology that provides rapid prototyping of a wide range of geometries [49]. 3D printing facilitates a lot of subjects in many fields like food production, auto engineering, biomedical, and tissue engineering [50]. Thus, 3D printing suggests fabricating complicated structures with a computer system and techniques without complex equipment [51].…”

3D printed polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate/carbon nanotube composite – Physical properties and biocompatibility

“…Bone tissue engineering is a novel treatment that has gained interest in the treatment of hard tissue repair/restore/remodeling. Scaffolds used in tissue engineering are greatly influenced by two main factors: the materials used and fabrication methods [ 4 ]. Optimized scaffolds are produced through a novel material processing technique, known as additive manufacturing or 3D printing.…”

“…Optimized scaffolds are produced through a novel material processing technique, known as additive manufacturing or 3D printing. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is one of the most widely used polymers for preparing scaffolds, particularly for 3D printing [ 4 ].…”

“…Combining PCL with biomaterials to promote ossification is a method of improving and enhancing it. These biomaterials include various calcium phosphate compounds and natural and synthetic ceramics such as hydroxyapatite [ 4 ].…”
