Fabrication a novel 3D tissue engineering scaffold of Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate filled with Aramid Nanofibers via Digital Light Processing (DLP) technique

Abstract

The aim of tissue engineering scaffold fabrication is to imitate the structural and mechanical properties of bone as close as possible. However, the selection of optimum scaffold fabrication method becomes challenging due to a variety of manufacturing methods, existing biomaterials and technical requirements. Although a lot of traditional fabrication methods can be used to produce scaffold, unfortunately, each of the conventional methods has lots of limitations. In this experimental study, the researcher has come out with a new approach technique via DLP-3D printing process in fabrication a novel tissue engineering scaffold Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) filled with Aramid Nanofiber (ANFs). In this work, the researcher has proved the potential and capability of these novel composition biomaterial PEGDA/ANFs to be print via DLP-3D printing technique to form a 3D structure which is not yet been established and has not reported elsewhere.
