Reinforcement with reduced graphene oxide of bioactive glass scaffolds fabricated by robocasting
Journal of the European Ceramic Society(2017)
摘要
45S5 bioactive glass composite scaffolds reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were fabricated for the first time by robocasting (direct-writing) technique. Composite scaffolds with 0–3vol.% content of rGO platelets were printed, and then consolidated by pressureless sintering at 550 or 1000°C in Ar atmosphere. It was found that the addition of rGO platelets up to 1.5vol.% content enhanced the mechanical performance of the 45S5 bioactive glass scaffolds in terms of strength and toughness. Best performance was obtained for 1vol.% rGO, which yielded an enhancement of the fracture toughness of ∼850 and 380% for sintering temperatures of 550 and 1000°C, respectively, while the compressive strength increased by ∼290 and 75%. rGO addition thus emerges as a promising approach for the fabrication of novel bioglass scaffolds with improved mechanical performance without deterioration of their bioactivity, which may then find use in load-bearing bone tissue engineering applications.
