The Combined Use of Micro-ct Imaging, In-situ Loading and Non-rigid Image Registration for 3d Experimental Local Strain Mapping on Porous Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffolds under Compressive Loading
Porous structures are used in many industrial applications such as thermal insulation, packaging and filters, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, but also in biomedical applications such as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (TE). To understand, simulate and eventually predict the behaviour of porous structures during loading in order to assess their functionality, a thorough knowledge of th...

The hydrophilic, conducting, biocompatible and porous scaffolds were designed using poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate)-co-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-poly(ε-caprolactone) (P(HEMA-b-NIPAAm-b-CL))/polyaniline (PANI) for the osteoblast applications. To this end, the PHEMA and P(HEMA-b-NIPAAm) were synthesized via reversible addition of fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and in ...
متن کاملIn vitro behavior of silk fibroin-coated calcium magnesium silicate scaffolds
Bioceramic scaffolds such as silicate bioceramics have been widely used for bone tissue engineering. However, their high degradation rate, low mechanical strength and surface instability are main challenges compromising their bioactivity and cytocompatibility which further negatively affect the cell growth and attachment. In this study, we have investigated the effects of silk fibroin coating o...
متن کاملAligned and random nanofibrous nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
Aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA). The morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...
