3D Printing Artificial Blood Vessel Constructs Using PCL/Chitosan/Hydrogel Biocomposites

摘要

The present paper aims to overcome the problems related to previous use of autologous grafts using available synthetic grafts.To examine the optimum of the ideal vessel-like constructs parameters are produced at 230°C.At this production temperature,the elastic modulus values of the constructs ranges from 56 MPa to 174 MPa.The maximum cell proliferation is obtained from PCL/7wt.%CS/5wt.%H that is tested by mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity.The structures are visualized with all constructs after cell fixation by making use of the HUVEC cell line.
