Improving mechanical properties of 13–93 bioactive glass robocast scaffold by poly (lactic acid) and poly (ε-caprolactone) melt infiltration

Simulation of cortico-cancellous bone structure by 3D printing of bilayer calcium phosphate-based scaffolds

“…These factors yield mechanical properties close to the cancellous bone which ranged between 1. Polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer [30], reinforcement with nano-titania particles [31], or compositing with collagen [32]. Recently, Roohani-Esfahani et al [33] have developed a 3D…”

Mechanical characteristic and biological behaviour of implanted and restorative bioglasses used in medicine and dentistry: A systematic review

“…Commonly, it is used to test the tensile strength, compressive strength and elastic modulus. Most of these studies performed at least two of the aforementioned tests, giving broader information about the properties; compressive strength and elastic modulus are the main properties examined [40][41][42][43][44]. Only in the study presented by Simpson et al [46], were all three mechanical properties measured.…”

“…However, some authors investigated more than one test to provide a more complete characterization (Table 1). In fact, two properties are studied in 8 articles [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] and in one case three properties have been reported [46].…”

“…Immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) [38,39,[41][42][43][44][45][46]49,52,55,59] Immersion in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) [48] Immersion in tris buffer [58] None [40,47,50,51,53,54,56,57] …”

“…Most of them are investigating the silicates system, only one [47] is studying a porous silicate BG mixed with hydroxyapatite (HA). Regarding the final applications, they are divided into: bone tissue regeneration [40,43,46,48,[53][54], tooth abrasion [51] and both bone and dental application [47,50]. The remaining twelve articles point out the effect given by polymers addition to different glass systems.…”
