Nanomaterial integrated 3D printing for biomedical applications

Abstract

3D printing technology, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, has provided a promising tool for manufacturing customized biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. A vast variety of biomaterials including...

Surface modification of TiO2nanoparticles with organic molecules and their biological applications

“…In recent years, modified TiO 2 NPs have attracted significant attention for using in different platforms/scaffolds in the tissue engineering field to promote biological and physicochemical processes of cell/ tissue culturing. 270,271 In this field, the TiO 2 NPs are often used as a part of the biocompatible polymeric matrix which can fix and stabilize TiO 2 NPs, enhancing the biocompatibility and effectiveness of these nanoparticles. Simultaneously, these incorporated TiO 2 NPs can improve the mechanical and physiochemical properties of the scaffolds.…”

Vat photopolymerization-based 3D printing of polymer nanocomposites: current trends and applications

“…SLA-based VPP processes have been widely used to produce tissue engineering scaffolds. 85–91 Compared to parts printed by FDM, VPP-printed parts provide enhanced fitting, higher resolution, and more comfort to patients. 13,43…”

Additive manufacturing of barium-doped calcium silicate/poly-ε-caprolactone scaffolds to activate CaSR and AKT signalling and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

“…28 Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has made advances both in manufacturing and in regenerative medicine. 29–31 The ability to create custom structures with repeating and specific internal morphologies enables the development of scaffolds for the regeneration of tissues, such as skin, cartilage, or bone. 31 There have been several studies and products focused on 3D-printed PCL scaffolds for application in bone regeneration.…”
