Abstract:
Extrusion-based printing technology has a promising development in the field of tissue engineering scaffold. Researchers package cells/particles in biomaterials and then extrude them through a nozzle and solidify to get a scaffold. This method can achieve uniform distribution of cells/particles in biomaterials or the addition of particles in biomaterials to enhance the mechanical properties of the scaffold. Sodium alginate is a kind of polysaccharide biomaterial which has a wide range of applications in the field of bioprinting. However, the diameter of the nozzle determines the accuracy of the cells/particles position in the alginate scaffold. A method of ultrasonic-assisted 3D bioprinting a composite of alginate and particles is proposed. The acoustic pressure can concentrate cells/particles to the center of the nozzle, which can achieve a more precise positioning than the diameter of the nozzle, and facilitate the purpose of depositing specific cells/particles to the determined location of the biomaterial. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing.
