Engineering printable composites of poly (ε‐polycaprolactone) / β‐tricalcium phosphate for biomedical applications

The incorporation of bioactive β‐tricalcium phosphate (TCP) into poly (ε‐polycaprolactone) (PCL) originates a composite biomaterial with required properties for a variety of biomedical application. We manufactured bioactive composites of PCL/TCP by melt compounding and assessed their rheological, structural, and thermal behavior, envisioning the use of the composites as filaments for additive manufacturing via fused filament fabrication (FFF)....
