Systematically Designed Periodic Electrophoretic Deposition for Decorating 3D Carbon-Based Scaffolds with Bioactive Nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo investigations of EPD coatings will be discussed in relation to the current main challenge of orthopedic implants, namely that the biomaterial must provide good bone-binding ability and mechanical compatibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tubular-shaped hydrogel structure was obtained in the process of cathodic electrodeposition from a chitosan-hydroxyapatite solution carried out in a cylindrical geometry.

TL;DR: In this article , a microwave-assisted biomineralization approach to synthesis of HA nanowhiskers (HANWs), which were characterized by well-controlled diameter (∼30 nm) and length (80 − 120‰nm), combined with a desirable calcium-−-phosphorus ratio (Ca/P) of 1.67.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basics of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in relation to carbon nanomaterials are described and the screening-factors Taguchi optimization method, often applied for the optimization of the EPD parameters is described.

TL;DR: Although modern synthetic biomaterials represent oversimplified mimics of natural ECMs lacking the essential natural temporal and spatial complexity, a growing symbiosis of materials engineering and cell biology may ultimately result in synthetic materials that contain the necessary signals to recapitulate developmental processes in tissue- and organ-specific differentiation and morphogenesis.

TL;DR: The functional requirements, and types, of materials used in developing state of the art of scaffolds for tissue engineering applications are described and where future research and direction is required are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview on 3D printing techniques of polymer composite materials and the properties and performance of 3D printed composite parts as well as their potential applications in the fields of biomedical, electronics and aerospace engineering.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the fundamental aspects of electrophoretic deposition technique, factors influencing the deposition process, kinetic aspects, types of EPD, the driving forces, preconditioning electrophoreic suspension, stability and control of suspension, mechanisms involved in EPD and drying of deposits obtained by EPD are discussed.
