| Abstract Scope |
Bioinspired magnetic freeze casting is an up and coming process used to make porous materials that mimic the structure of bone by being strong, yet light in weight for a variety of applications. Thus far magnetic freeze casting has been limited to using iron oxide, but by expanding its use to other materials the range of applications for it would be greatly improved. The ferromagnetic properties that make iron oxide ideal for magnetic freeze casting can be mimicked in titania and alumina through surface magnetization, making them usable for magnetic freeze casting. In doing so we look to strengthen scaffolds by using various compositions of differing shaped particles. Future work will look to further increase lamellar wall alignment throughout the scaffold by combining differing particle shapes with alterations in other aspects of the freeze-casting process in hopes of creating bioinspired structures with increased compressive strength. |
