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 ...
