Bone tissue engineering using polymer based scaffolds have been studied a lot in last
decades. Considering the qualities of all the polymers desired to be used as scaffolds …

Surface interaction at the biomaterial–cell interface is essential for a variety of cellular
functions, such as adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Nevertheless, changes in the …

Bone is a regenerative organ characterized by self-renewal ability. Indeed, it is a very
dynamic tissue subjected to continuous remodeling in order to preserve its structure and …

Bioprinting offers a highly-automated and advanced manufacturing platform that facilitates
the deposition of bio-inks (living cells, biomaterials and growth factors) in a scalable and …

ABSTRACT Recently, poly (є-caprolactone)(PCL) has gained a lot of attention, and shown
great potential in biomedical applications. Among synthetic polymers, PCL is one of the …

During the resorbable-polymer-boom of the 1970s and 1980s, polycaprolactone (PCL) was
used extensively in the biomaterials field and a number of drug-delivery devices. Its …

With tissue engineering we can create biological substitutes to repair or replace failing
organs or tissues. Synthetic biopolymer-based nanocomposites are of interest for use in …

Nanocomposites have emerged in the last two decades as an efficient strategy to upgrade
the structural and functional properties of synthetic polymers. Aliphatic polyesters as …

Abstract The 3-dimensional (3D) printing technologies, referred to as additive manufacturing
(AM) or rapid prototyping (RP), have acquired reputation over the past few years for art …

This article reports on the experimental determination and finite element modeling of tensile
and compressive mechanical properties of solid polycaprolactone (PCL) and of porous PCL …
