Physical, mechanical, and biological characterization of robocasted carbon nanotube reinforced microwave sintered calcium phosphate scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

This study analyses the influence of the addition of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) on the physical, mechanical, and biological behaviour of Calcium Phosphate (CP) bone scaffolds developed using the robocasting technique for bone regeneration. Three different mass percentages (0.5, 1, and 2 wt%) of MWCNT are added to the CP powder and a slurry is prepared using a CMC binder for printing the scaffolds.

Comprehensive Review on Design and Manufacturing of Bio-scaffolds for Bone Reconstruction.

Bio-scaffolds are synthetic entities widely employed in bone and soft-tissue regeneration applications. These bio-scaffolds are applied to the defect site to provide support and favor cell attachment and growth, thereby enhancing the regeneration of the defective site. The progressive research in bio-scaffold fabrication has led to identification of biocompatible and mechanically stable materials.
