▎ 摘 要
In the study, three-dimensional, grid-like silicate-based bioactive glass scaffolds were manufactured using a robotic deposition technique. Inks were prepared by mixing 13-93 bioactive glass particles in Pluronic (R) F-127 solution. After deposition, scaffolds were dried at room temperature and sintered at 690 degrees C for 1 h. The surface of the sintered scaffolds was coated with graphene nanopowder (1, 3, 5, 10 wt%) containing poly(epsilon-caprolactone) solution. The in vitro mineralization ability of the prepared composite scaffolds was investigated in simulated body fluid. The surface of the simulated body fluid-treated scaffolds was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy to investigate the hydroxyapatite formation. Mechanical properties were tested under compression. Results revealed that graphene coating has no detrimental effect on the hydroxyapatite forming ability of the prepared glass scaffolds. On the other hand, it decreased the compression strength of the scaffolds at high graphene concentrations. The prepared grid-like bioactive glass-based composite scaffolds did not show toxic response to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. It was shown that stem cells seeded onto the scaffolds attached and proliferated well on the surface. Cells seeded on the scaffolds surface also demonstrated osteogenic differentiation under in vitro conditions in the absence of transforming growth factors.
