“…Synthetic polymers have been used extensively with HAp to print HAp-based scaffolds due to their easy structural manipulability, flexibility, and versatile mechanical performances. In the recent times, several studies involving HAp with poly(L-lactide) (PLA) (Russias et al, 2007;Ronca et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2016), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) (Russias et al, 2007;Yao et al, 2015;Gómez-Lizárraga et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2018;Vella et al, 2018), and poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) (Lee et al, 2009;Trachtenberg et al, 2016Trachtenberg et al, , 2017 have been reported in the literature. Russias et al produced PLA or PCL/HAp (70 wt-%) as hybrid organic/inorganic scaffolding constructs with controlled porous microstructures using robotic-assisted deposition (3D inks, Stillwater, OK, USA) at room temperature.…”
