3D printed mesh reinforcements enhance the mechanical properties of electrospun scaffolds

摘要

Fabrication of reinforced electrospun scaffolds. Electrospun scaffolds were produced from a 40:60 ratio of PCL:gelatin. The scaffolds were then placed in a 3D-printer and a PLA mesh was deposited onto one side of the scaffold. Two types of 3D-printed meshes were generated, one with a 6 mm distance between PLA struts, and the other with an 8 mm distance between struts
