Problems solved by technology

However, due to the large difference between the melting points of PCL and PLGA, PCL will be thermally degraded in advance when melt mixing or processing is used; and PCL is a semi-crystalline polyester, which is easy to form crystals and has poor compatibility with PLGA in solvents. Affect the mechanical properties of hybrid materials

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a PLGA / PCL / nHA composite bone repair porous scaffold by a 3D printing technology as well as a product and application of the method. The method comprises the following steps: mixing 1,4-dioxane which is used as a solvent with PLGA and PCL according to a mass ratio of 9:(1-5):5, adding nHA powder according to a mass fraction of 10-25%, and finally adding tributyl citrate as a compatibilizer to improve the uniformity of the material; using the solution as 3D printing 'ink', carrying out 3D printing with a 3D printer, selecting a 150-micron discharging needle, and setting printing parameters as follows: parallel printing is adopted for each layer with gaps of 0.1-0.3mm, the Z-axis direction is raised by 0.2mm each time, the layers are verticallycrossed and stacked, the extrusion speed is set to 1.5-2mm / s, and the temperature of a receiving platform is -20 to -10 DEG C; and after the scaffold is printed, carrying out freeze-drying for 48 hours, and then drying the scaffold in a vacuum oven at 50 DEG C for 24 hours or more to prepare a PLGA / PCL / nHA composite bone repair porous scaffold. The preparation method provided by the invention issimple and feasible; the prepared porous bone repair scaffold has proper pore size and porosity, good biocompatibility and mechanical strength, thereby providing a new idea for clinical treatment of large bone defects, and having a wide clinical application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method in the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to a method for preparing a PLGA / PCL / nHA composite porous scaffold for bone repair by 3D printing technology and its product and application, using 1,4-dioxane as a solvent , tributyl citrate and other compatibilizers are used as additives to control the ratio of each component in the composite material while maintaining a stable solution. Finally, a porous bone repair scaffold with good material uniformity and good mechanical properties is prepared by 3D printing technology. Background technique [0002] The repair of large bone defects is a major problem in clinical orthopedics. With the development of tissue engineering, tissue engineered bone scaffold materials are expected to replace traditional autologous or allogeneic bone, avoiding secondary trauma to patients, and repairing bone defects. Provides a new idea [Dimitriou R, Injury, 2011]. 3D p...
