Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) have been used to reinforce PMMA-siloxane-silica nanocomposites considered be promising candidates for environmentally compliant anticorrosive coatings. The organic-inorganic hybrids were prepared by benzoyl peroxide (BPO)-induced polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) covalently bonded through 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl (MPTS) silica domains formed hydrolytic condensation tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Single-walled carbon nanosheets dispersed...

Abstract Depending on its composition, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polycaprolactone (PCL) blend may present interesting properties for biomedical applications. Here, we have extensively developed and characterized blends of TPU/PCL composites with 5, 10, 20 wt% hydroxyapatite (HA). The thermal, rheological, mechanical characterizations showed that the an intermediate behavior between pure TPU PCL. 75TPU/25PCL exhibited best shape memory performance at temperatures below 50 °C. Filaments...

Bioactive and biodegradable scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone serve as temporary structures to guide new tissue growth. In this study, 3D-printed composed poly (lactic acid) (PLA)-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) (90-10 wt.%) were modified with 1%, 5%, 10 wt.% ZnO enhance regeneration. A commercial chain extender named Joncryl was incorporated alongside ensure printability composites. Filaments manufactured using a twin-screw extruder subsequently used print 3D via...

Abstract The incorporation of bioactive β‐tricalcium phosphate (TCP) into poly (ε‐polycaprolactone) (PCL) originates a composite biomaterial with required properties for variety biomedical application. We manufactured composites PCL/TCP by melt compounding and assessed their rheological, structural, thermal behavior, envisioning the use as filaments additive manufacturing via fused filament fabrication (FFF). Biocomposites PCL 5 wt% 10 TCP presented similar stability, crystallinity,...
