Long-Term Creep and Impact Strength of Biocompatible 3D-Printed PLA-Based Scaffolds

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work porous scaffolds for trabecular bone defects replacement were studied. PLA and PLA/HA сomposites were obtained by extrusion. Scaffolds were obtained by 3D-printing by fused filament fabrication method. Long-term creep and Charpy impact tests show that PLA/HA scaffolds with the maximum force for destruction at impact of 119 N can function under a load of up to 10 MPa without shape changing and loss of mechanical properties. In vivo tests were used to investigate biocompatibility of scaffolds. The scaffolds may be used as implants for unloaded small bone defects replacement
