4D Printing of Nanostructure Modified Shape Memory Polymer Composites
(Springer Nature, 2022-05-19)
Four-dimensional (4D) printing and nanostructure have introduced the possibility of having systems for self-assembly, self-healing, and material properties changes. Layered printing allows creating compound and complex ...
3D printing of PEEK and its composite to increase biointerfaces as a biomedical material - A review
(2021-07-01)
Poly ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is a polymer with better lignin biocompatibility than other polymers. It is good for biomedical engineering applications. This research summarises the outcomes of an evaluation conducted on ...
Mechanical performances of hip implant design and fabrication with PEEK composite
(2021-06-01)
Artificial bone implant materials need porosity for nutrient distribution, moderate pore size to provide cell cultures and bone-like mechanical properties. The homogenisation of discrepancies between the microstructure of ...
Lattice design and 3D-printing of PEEK with Ca10(OH)(PO4)3 and in-vitro bio-composite for bone implant
(2020-12-15)
The addition of biomaterials such as Calcium hydroxyapatite (cHAp) and incorporation of porosity into poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are effective ways to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK ...
Review on 3D printing: Fight against COVID-19
(2020-10-22)
The outbreak of Coronavirus in 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its pandemic effects have created a demand for essential medicine equipment. To date, there are no specific, clinically effective licensed ...
3D printing of PEEK–cHAp scaffold for medical bone implant
(2020-10-21)
The major drawback associated with PEEK implants is their biologically inert surface, which caused unsatisfactory cellular response and poor adhesion between the implants and surrounding soft tissues against proper bone ...
3D printing and morphological characterisation of polymeric composite scaffolds
(2020-05-23)
3D-printing is an efficient method of designing customised structures and producing synthetic bone grafts appropriate for bone implants. This research aimed to manufacture a new multi-functionalised 3D-printed poly(lactic ...
