Enhanced biomedical applicability of ZrO2–SiO2 ceramic composites in 3D printed bone scaffolds
Abstract Zirconia (ZrO2) has been widely used in clinical applications, such as bone and dental implantation, because of its favorable mechanical properties and resistance to fracture. However, the poor cell affinity of ZrO2 for bone regeneration and tissue binding, as well as its shrinkage due to c...
