The growing number of orthopedic procedures for bone repair resulting from increased life expectancy or traumas is a problem that affects all countries. In the U.S., nearly one million bone graft procedures are performed annually, with a growth rate of nearly 13% per year. In this context, new surgical procedures have been developed as well as new materials for bone repair. One of the mos…
Based on the advantages of energy-saving, simple operation, easy maintenance and scaling up, Membrane technology is widely used in separation operation procedures. The membrane technology evolution is changing every day, from the initial development of the dense membrane to the asymmetric membrane, and even the advancement of the composite membrane, in order to achieve better separation p…
With the increased life expectancy of the world population there was an increase in the need for orthopedic procedures for bone repairs due to trauma. In this context new surgical procedures have been developed as well as new materials for bone repair. One of the most promissing alternatives is the development of scaffolds which may be made of metals, ceramics or polymers and should mimic…

Orthopedic procedures for bone repairs have had a high demand due to the growing elderly population and people who are victims of traffic accidents, cancer and bone disorders. Bone grafting with a tissue sample from the patient is one of the main surgical techniques for repairing and reconstructing fractures and bone defects. However, due to the limited amount of possible use of the patie…
Filament Fusion Fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing process that presents many advantages, such as low cost, design variety, and flexibility for modifications. However, to scale this process for new industrial applications, multifunctional and processable materials are needed. In this way, electromagnetic shielding is required for electronics housing, and thermoplastics nanocom…
3D printing has revolutionized the medical field, especially the manufacture of orthopedic prostheses, due to the versatility of adaptation of the prosthesis to a certain defect/person, the low cost, the speed to print the desired material and the possibility of accelerating osseointegration due to the porous structure of the scaffolds, decreasing the recovery time of the patient and the …
As life expectancy of the world population increased, there was an enhancement in orthopedic procedures for bone repairs. In this context, new surgical procedures have been developed as well new materials for bone and cartilage repairs, especially with the Poly (µ-caprolactone), PCL, a polyester obtained by µ -caprolactone polymerization. As a biodegradable and a biocompatible polymer, it…

Filament Fusion Fabrication (FFF) has attracted significant attention among additive manufacturing processes due to its cost-effectiveness, parts design versatility, and efficient process modification capabilities, surpassing traditional manufacturing methods. Consequently, extensive research is underway to explore novel materials for this process, with a specific focus on thermoplastic n…
Using additive manufacturing, we have produced scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone (architecture, biochemistry and mechanical properties) and act as temporary molds to guide the regeneration of bone. A composite matrix composed of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-tricalcium ²-phosphate (TCP) (90-10 wt%) have been modified with 1, 5 and 10 wt% of SiO2, ZnO and CeO2 to enh…
Over the last years orthopedic procedures for bone repairs due to trauma, new implants, as well as new surgical procedures, have been developed. In this context, new surgical procedures and new materials for bone repair have been developed. One of the most outstanding alternatives is the development ofscaffolds. One of the ways to produce scaffolds with adequate mechanical properties and …
Nelumbo nucifera, usually known as Lotus flower, is undoubtedly a great source of inspiration for the development of water-repellent surfaces. Its uncommon superhydrophobic properties is laid on the perfect synergy between the two-level hierarchical roughness and low surface energy. Two-level hierarchical structures can be obtained by LbL assembly technique through the deposition of small…
