A New Design of Porosity Gradient Ti-6Al-4V Encapsulated Hydroxyapatite Dual Materials Composite Scaffold for Bone Defects

The tibia of New Zealand White rabbits was used as a model of critical bone defects to investigate a new design of composite scaffold for bone defects composed of dual materials. The all-in-one design of a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) scaffold comprised the structure of a bone plate and gradient poros...

A New Design of Porosity Gradient Ti-6Al-4V Encapsulated Hydroxyapatite Dual Materials Composite Scaffold for Bone Defects
description The tibia of New Zealand White rabbits was used as a model of critical bone defects to investigate a new design of composite scaffold for bone defects composed of dual materials. The all-in-one design of a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) scaffold comprised the structure of a bone plate and gradient porosity cage. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a biodegradable material, was encapsulated in the center of the scaffold. The gradient pore structure was designed with 70%-65%-60%-55%-50% porosity, since the stresses could be distributed more uniformly when the all-in-one scaffold was placed on the bone contact surface. By covering the center of the scaffold with a low strength of HAp to contact the relatively low strength of bone marrow tissues, the excessive stiffness of the Ti-6Al-4V can be effectively reduced and further diminish the incidence of the stress shielding effect. The simulation results show that the optimized composite scaffold for the 3D model of tibia had a maximum stress value of 27.862 MPa and a maximum strain of 0.065%. The scaffold prepared by selective laser melting was annealed and found that the Young’s coefficient increased from 126.44 GPa to 131.46 GPa, the hardness increased from 3.9 GPa to 4.12 GPa, and the strain decreased from 2.27% to 1.13%.
