Abstract:

Polymer ceramic composites are finding applications in many fields, one of which is biomedical. Scaffolds act as support material for bone regeneration. Polylactic acid, a naturally degradable material which has good mechanical properties, is chosen as the polymer matrix, and 45S5 bioactive glass is chosen as ceramic filler, which is bio active. The weight proportions of 2.5,5 and 10 of filler are added to the polymer matrix and extruded to get a filament of diameter 1.75 mm. The filaments are 3d printed into cubical scaffolds. The mechanical characteristics of 3d printed composites are investigated.

Keywords:

3D printing, Composite, Scaffold, Bioactive glass, PLA.
