Synthetic inorganic-organic composites are of interest for bone tissue engineering as an alternative to natural grafts, since they resemble the structure and degrade over time, enabling new grow. In this study, properties two types composite materials: Type 1) genipin cross-linked chitosan hydrogels with addition Bioglass 45S5 (BG) powder 2) BG scaffolds coated hydrogel, have been investigated ...

3D printing for tissue engineering requires biomaterials with mechanical and biological properties suitable both regeneration the process. A filament made of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) combined 45S5 Bioglass (BG) was used to print scaffolds by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Chemical treatment BG particles chlorotrimethylsilane (CTMS) improved ductility extruded filaments ...

Plasma-sprayed 45S5 bioactive glass coatings were manufactured using two types of powder feedstocks (commercial and lab-made glass) plasma torches (single triple cathode) to analyse their influence on the microstructure bioactivity coatings. Besides, volatilisation oxides such as Na2O P2O5 during deposition was studied. All microstructurally characterised by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray ...
