Abstract Due to their versatile properties and wide-ranging applications across various industries, including manufacturing, polymers are indispensable for today’s society. However, polymer-based products significantly impact the environment since many single-used plastics require a long time degrade naturally. A method attenuate end-of-life polymers’ ill effects is recycling them bring again into production cycle, from grave cradle. This investigation involves PETG sheets used in face...
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...
Plasma surface treatment of ceramic particles has emerged as a promising approach for developing biocomposites intended use in tissue engineering applications. Introducing functional groups on particle surfaces promotes changes material properties, enhancing adhesion, biocompatibility, and reactivity. It can also mitigate degradation during the processing polymer matrices composite materials. Therefore, carefully choosing functionalizing agent responsible generating selecting appropriate...
Scaffolds of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and their biocomposites with 0, 1, 3, 5 wt.% Biosilicate® were fabricated by the generative manufacturing process coupled a vertical miniscrew extrusion head to application for restoration bone tissue. Their morphological characterization indicated designed 0°/90° architecture range pore sizes interconnectivity is feasible tissue engineering applications. Mechanical compression tests revealed an up 57% increase in stiffness scaffold structures addition...
Originally designed for industrial use, numerical control (CNC) machines have been increasingly present incommercial and residential environments, especially due to the popularization of low-cost 3D printers with a similar system, such as small laser cutting machines. Most are controlled by G-codes, however, open, simple generic tools remote control, monitoring open management G-codes sent them rare. In context Industry 4.0, including operation machines, their use has become fundamental....
Abstract The increase in bone fractures has been driving the development of materials for repair with better mechanical and biological properties. This work reports poly (lactic acid) (PLA)‐zinc oxide (ZnO) biocomposites 3D printing scaffolds to be applied tissue engineering. ZnO surface was functionalized maleic anhydride (ZnOMA) by applying radio frequency plasma treatment as an alternative control catalytic effects on degradation PLA during molten state processing. ZnOMA powders were...
