| Abstract Scope |
The development of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering requires mechanical responses and bacterial resistance corresponding to those of the surrounding native bone tissue to avoid rejection and increase feasibility of the treatment. In pursuit of these important requirements researchers have recently use the capabilities of additive manufacturing to produce different geometries comparable to those of bone. However, despite of important advances, still remains a limitation related with the anti-bacterial capabilities of the scaffolds produced. Here, we used additive manufacture to produce scaffolds with different geometries by using PLA and PCL with and without HAP particles to tune the mechanical response to that of bone. Further, bee Propolis was used to improve the anti-bacterial response of the scaffolds. |
