Fabrication, mechanical and in vivo performance of polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds
Lohfeld, Stefan; Cahill, Senan; Barron, Valerie; McHugh, Peter (2012)This paper explores the use of selective laser sintering (SLS) for the generation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds from polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Different scaffold designs are generated, ... -
Finite element predictions compared to experimental results for the effective modulus of bone tissue engineering scaffolds fabricated by selective laser sintering
Lohfeld, Stefan; McHugh, Peter E.; Cahill, Senan (Springer Verlag, 2009)A current challenge in bone tissue engineering is to create scaffolds with suitable mechanical properties, high porosity, full interconnectivity and suitable pore size. In this paper, polyamide and polycaprolactone scaffolds ... -
Improving the finite element model accuracy of tissue engineered scaffolds produced by selective laser sintering
Lohfeld, Stefan; Cahill, Senan; Doyle, Heather; McHugh, Peter E. (Springer Verlag, 2015-01-13)In bone tissue engineering, both geometrical and mechanical properties of a scaffold play a major part in the success of the treatment. The mechanical stresses and strains that act on cells on a scaffold in a physiological ...
