Constructing core-shell structured BaTiO3@carbon boosts piezoelectric activity and cell response of polymer scaffolds

Laser Additively Manufactured Iron-Based Biocomposite: Microstructure, Degradation, and In Vitro Cell Behavior

“…Bone substitute was highly demanded aiming to achieve the tissue regeneration and functional reconstruction at critical defect sites (Puleo and Nanci, 1999;Li et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2021b;Qian et al, 2021). In the present study, Fe-based biocomposites were fabricated by laser additive manufacturing.…”

“…Apart from the suitable porous structure, sufficient mechanical strength, and suitable mechanical properties, bone implants also need to provide a suitable microenvironment for the growth of new tissues ( Pooja et al, 2014 ; Li et al, 2019 ; Narayanan et al, 2020 ; Qi et al, 2021 ). In the present study, the Fe/CaCl 2 biocomposite easily formed crystalline hydrate with water molecules, thereby showing a significant improvement of wettability, as shown in Figure 2C .…”

Construction of a stereocomplex between poly(d-lactide) grafted hydroxyapatite and poly(l-lactide): toward a bioactive composite scaffold with enhanced interfacial bonding

“…The improved interfacial interaction of PLLA and g-HAP played a major role in mechanical reinforcement. 37,38 On one hand, the compatibility between PLLA and HAP was improved when PDLA molecular chains were grafted on HAP. On the other hand, PLLA and PDLA could form a stereocomplex and the intermolecular forces between their molecular chains were stronger than the intermolecular forces of PLLA.…”

A Continuous MgF2 Network Structure Encapsulated Mg Alloy Prepared by Selective Laser Melting for Enhanced Biodegradation Resistance

“…However, AZ61‐48MgF 2 alloy showed abnormal mechanical deterioration due to the bigger thickness of MgF2 and the resulting deformation and cracks on powder surface, which are easily to induce defects and crack propagation in the SLM‐prepared alloys. [ 50 ] In addition, the bigger thickness of MgF 2 and therefore higher content of MgF 2 in SLM‐prepared alloys leads to the bigger inhomogeneity, which may decrease the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It should also be noted that these alloys present poor plasticity, which needs to be improved in future research.…”
