4D polycarbonates via stereolithography as scaffolds for soft

Index

Abstract

This paper presents the design and in vivo testing of soft, elastomeric aliphatic polycarbonate-based materials for use as 3D-printed scaffolds in soft tissue repair. The scaffolds exhibit shape memory properties, allowing them to conform to tissue voids. In vivo studies showed adipocyte infiltration and neovascularization, with reduced collagen capsule thickness, indicating high promise for adipose tissue engineering.
