| Abstract Scope |
Broken or diseased bone tissue requires a multitude of repair strategies ranging from allografts to bone substitutes. Herein we describe a manufacturing process to create all-ceramic porous scaffolds for bone tissue repair in the absence of traditional consolidation techniques for ceramics—a technique that has potential for in situ use in operating rooms, or in field hospitals. The room temperature and pressure process utilizes a reaction with a liquid ceramic precursor to form a silicate-glass binder phase to consolidate bioactive glass frit particles. Herein, characterization and mechanical response of the composite scaffolds is reviewed with respect to design specifications required in biomedical implant materials, such as: formability, structural integrity, porosity, load-bearing capability, and bioactivity. |
