“…Examination of the fracture toughness of thermoset and thermoplastic composites showed that thermoplastics have higher fracture toughness in mode II. 31,62,63 Study on the fracture toughness of thermoplastic biocomposites made by a 3D printer is one of the essential requirements for using these parts. In this research, the DCB test was used to extract the strain energy release rate.…”

The difference in bone stiffness with the metallic bone fixation implants increases the risk of re-fracture due to osteoporosis in the implant area. In this study, a PLA-based bio-composite bone fixation implant with controllable stiffness capability was fabricated with a 3D printer, and crack growth in samples has been studied. The stiffness controllability was made possible by controlling the fiber and polymers fractions in the 3D printing process. A logical relationship was observed between Vf, critical load, and strain energy release rate. Therefore, it can be expected that the fracture toughness can be estimated in thermoplastic bio-composites bone fixation based on the Vf.
