Additive manufacturing of poly (lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite/carbon nanotubes biocomposites for fibroblast cell proliferation

Abstract Bone tissue is one of the most important in the human body. In this study, scaffolds of poly (lactic acid) PLA reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) were manufactured, evaluating their mechanical and biological properties. HA was synthesized by wet method and charac...
