3-dimensional printing of PLA scaffolds for medical applications

Abstract: Scaffolds encourage the new tissue formation through biological substitution of the damaged or lost tissues. Therefore, scaffold characteristics become more important and should be precisely controlled. Production of scaffolds using a three dimensional (3d) printer appears as a promising method in terms of enabling homogeneous pore distribution and uniform pore size arrangement. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) scaffold structures were obtained through 3d printing, based on the design parameters such as th… Show more

“…PLA-20PHA/5nHAp composite shows the highest improvement in tensile strength at 36. Researchers from the year 2020 [42] describe a novel PLA-based technology in this study article. The possible advanced applications of 4D printing are medical devices for stents placed into blood vessels, drug capsules that release medicine, home appliances for control and that adjust according to humidity and heat, footwear and clothes, implants for humans and animals made from biocompatible materials, soft robots that can be activated without reliance on an electric device, smart valves, and sensors for infrastructure lines.…”
