...Yuan-Min Lin; Hsuan Chen; Chih-Hsin Lin; Pin-Ju Huang; Shyh-Yuan Lee Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop resin composite materials composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) acrylates and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles for ultraviolet digital light projection (DLP) three-dimensional (3D...

... promote cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions though proper porosity, pore size and interconnectivity. Design/methodology/approach This case study was focused on the production of multi-layered hybrid scaffolds made of polycaprolactone and consisting in supporting grids obtained by Material Extrusion...

... Additive manufacturing Polycaprolactone Hydroxyapatite Tissue engineering Graphene oxide Mechanical characterization The loss or failure of a tissue is one of the most frequently encountered problems in human health care. For example, around 3.5 million people suffered from bone fractures...

... to create a scaffold to mimic functionally-graded tissue using a hybrid process, which incorporated electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) and electrosprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) in a simple pathway. Design/methodology/approach The PCL and HA were dispensed simultaneously from different positions to form...
