Abstract
A novel method for the fabrication of hybrid polymer/ceramic porous scaffolds with core/shell struts is developed. Robocasting with coaxial needles is used to deposit beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds with hollow rods, which are subsequently filled with a polycaprolactone melt by suction. The polymeric core provides outstanding improvement of the toughness of the structure in bending, with strain energy density increasing nearly two orders of...
