• Bioactive Glass and Glass-Ceramic Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering (2010, neutral): “…scaffold requirements include matching the structural and mechanical properties with those of the recipient tissue and optimizing the microenvironment to foster cell integration, adhesion and growth, issues that have become known as structural and surface compatibility of biomaterials [89,90].”
• POLYMERIC SCAFFOLDS IN TISSUE ENGINEERING APPLICATION: A REVIEW (2011, neutral): “For example, PMMA is mainly used as bone cements in hip and knee replacements, and highdensity PE forms the articulating surfaces of hip and knee joints [13].”
• Rapid prototyping in tissue engineering: challenges and potential. (2004, neutral): “The scaffolds were reported to have a pore size of 160 mm and a mechanical strength of 12.7 MPa, which is comparable to the tensile strength of natural cancellous bone, which has a value of 7.4MPa [ 23 ].”
• Biomaterials in orthopaedics (2008, neutral): “The main strategies consisted of reinforcing polymeric matrices of polyetheretherketone , PE or polysulphone (PS) mainly with carbon or glass fibres (Evans & Gregson 1998; Ramakrishna et al. 2001).”
