New 3D Printed Scaffolds Based on Walstromite Synthesized by Sol-Gel Method.

This study explores the potential utilization of walstromite (BaCaSiO) as a foundational material for creating new bioceramics in the form of scaffolds through 3D printing technology. To achieve this objective, this study investigates the chemical-mineralogical, morphological, and structural characteristics, as well as the biological properties, of walstromite-based bioceramics. The precursor mixture for walstromite synthesis is prepared through the sol-gel method, utilizing pure reagents.
