Comparative analysis of solvent-based and solvent-free (melting) methods for fabricating 3D-printed polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite composite bone scaffolds: physicochemical/mechan... by Brigita De Vega, Brigita De Vega, Abir Dutta, Abir Dutta, Aisha Mumtaz, Bob C. Schroeder, Craig Gerrand, Ashleigh S. Boyd, Ashleigh S. Boyd, Deepak M. Kalaskar, Deepak M. Kalaskar

“…Rheology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), accelerated degradation, mechanical/compression test, wettability/contact angle, live/dead assay, and DNA quantification (Picogreen) assays were evaluated.FindingsThe study finds that scaffolds made via the solid solvent method have higher mechanical strength and degradation rate as compared to those from the melting method, while both methods ensure adequate cytocompatibility and homogenous hydroxyapatite distribution, supporting their use in bone tissue engineering.OriginalityThis research investigates the utility of chloroform as a solvent for PCL composite in a direct comparison with the melting method. …”
