| Abstract: | Precision Extruding Deposition (PED) process was
used to directly fabricate Polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/
Hydroxyapatite (HA) composite tissue scaffolds. HA powder was
melt blended with PCL, a biodegradable polymer. Scaffolds with
controlled pore size porosity were fabricated. The scaffold
morphology and the mechanical properties were evaluated using
SEM and mechanical testing. In vivo biological studies were
conducted to investigate the cellular responses of the PCL
scaffolds. Results and characterizations demonstrate the viability
of the PED process as well as the good mechanical property,
structural integrity, controlled pore size, pore interconnectivity,
and the biological compatibility of the fabricated scaffolds. |
