Bioactive Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced 3D Printable Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering

Polymeric bone scaffolds are a promising tissue engineering approach for the repair of critical-size bone defects. Porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds play an essential role as templates to guide new tissue formation. However, there are critical challenges arising from the poor mechanical proper...
