Evaluating the effect of increasing ceramic content on the mechanical properties, material microstructure and degradation of selective laser sintered PCL/b-TCP materials
(Elsevier, 2015-06-06)Orthopaedic scaffold materials were fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and composite PCL β-tricalcium phosphate (PCL/β-TCP) powders using selective laser sintering (SLS). Incorporating β-TCP particles is ... -
Evaluation of a multiscale modelling methodology to predict the mechanical properties of PCL/β-TCP sintered scaffold materials
(Springer Verlag, 2014-12-02)A multiscale modelling methodology to predict the macroscale stiffness of selective laser sintered polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) materials is evaluated. The relationship between a micromechanics-evaluated ... -
Fabrication, mechanical and in vivo performance of polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds
(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, ... -
Improving the finite element model accuracy of tissue engineered scaffolds produced by selective laser sintering
(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 ... -
In silico bone tissue engineering - a multiscale and multiphysics approach
(2016-07-26)Mechanical stimulation in terms of fluid flow and mechanical strain can enhance the osteogenesis. Biomaterial scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering experiments have extremely complex geometry, which will result in the ... -
The role of matrix properties and extrinsic loading in osteoblast-osteocyte differentiation in tissue engineered scaffolds
(2018-02-05)Bone tissue engineering is a promising field with the potential to generate tissue substitutes, by taking advantage of mesenchymal stem cells ability to grow and produce tissue substitutes under specific physical conditions. ...
