Tantalum Nanoparticles Reinforced PCL Scaffolds Using Direct 3D Printing for Bone Tissue Engineering

Polycarbonate (PCL) has been widely used in tissue engineering, but its hydrophobicity and low biological activity limit its further promotion and application. By adding nanoparticles, the hydrophilicity and biological activity of PCL can be improved. In this study, different amounts of Ta (1–10%wt)...
