Large artificial bone from 3D printed polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate (3D PCL/β-TCP) effectively promoting MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion, proliferation, and new bone formation

European Polymer Journal 2024 Volume 211, Article 113046

The use of 3D printing technology has advanced the bone tissue engineering, and constructing large artificial bones for repairing large-scale bone defects is highly significant. This study aimed to construct large artificial bones in a precise and controllable manner, focusing on repairing critical-sized bone defects. The researchers used 3D printing technology to synthesize 3D PCL/β-TCP, and then evaluated its ability to promote MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion, proliferation, and new bone formation through a series of characterizations. The results confirmed that 3D PCL/β-TCP, presented as a lattice structure similar to natural bone, could be used to prepare personalized artificial bone blocks based…

Three-dimensional-printed calcium alginate/graphene oxide porous adsorbent with super-high lead ion adsorption ability in aqueous solution

Separation and Purification Technology 2023 Volume 326, Article 124757

Using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, a 3D calcium alginate/graphene oxide (3D CA/GO) adsorbent, with a hierarchical macroporous structure, was successfully constructed. Owing to the optimized construction process, the 3D CA/GO showed an enhanced adsorption capacity (490.2 mg/g at pH = 3.0) for lead (Pb(II)) in aqueous solution, which was two times higher than reported in the literature). Meanwhile, the selective adsorption ratio of 3D CA/GO for Pb(II) reached 99.8% when positive ions occurred. In addition, after eight adsorption–desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity did not experience a significant decrease and the structure remained stable. Meanwhile, the adsorbed Pb(II) could be eluted…
