Fabrication and Characterization of Polylactic Acid-Mg Composites by 3d Printing Method for Biomedical Applications, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Alizadeh, Reza (Supervisor) ; Abachi, Parvin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is considered as a great option to be employed as 3D porous scaffold in tissue engineering applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility and processability. However, relatively weak mechanical properties, low degradation rate and inappropriate biodegradability limit its extensive usage. In order to overcome the mentioned challenges, micrometric magnesium (Mg) particles were incorporated into the PLA matrix by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. The effects of various Mg contents (i.e., 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wt%) on the mechanical, thermal, structural, wettability, rheological, biodegradability characteristics and cellular behavior of the 3D porous PLA-Mg...
