Zirconia Incorporation in 3D Printed β-Ca2SiO4 Scaffolds on Their Physicochemical and Biological Property

Abstract

3D printed bioceramics derived from preceramic polymers are of great interest in bone tissue engineering due to their simplified fabrication processes. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) porous -Ca 2 SiO 4 scaffolds incorporated with ZrO 2 were fabricated from silicone resin loaded with active CaCO 3 and inert ZrO 2 fillers by 3D printing.
