Functionally Graded Multilayer Composites Based on Poly(D,L lactide)/Bioactive Fillers Fabricated by a 3D Direct Pellet Printing Multi-Extrusion Process
Résumé
The aim of the present work was to investigate a 3D manufacturing process dealing with 3D Direct Pellet multi-Extrusion (DPPmE). Throughout this paper, various functionally graded materials (FGM) were obtained with tailored properties for bone regeneration. Therefore, an experimental investigation was performed to gain a better understanding of the structure-processingproperties relationships. A poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) matrix and bioglass (BG) or hydroxyapatite (HA) bioactive fillers were chosen to obtain hybrid FGM in comparison to composite references. Different compositions and shape factors (from microspheres to fibers) of these bioactive fillers were used to control the PDLLA matrix degradation. Then, different strategies of DPPmE were used to tailor and tune the desired gradient of properties. Interestingly, good interfaces and adhesion properties were obtained. Subsequently, rheological, size-exclusion chromatography, and porosity measurements corroborated the present findings. Besides, tensile as well as thermomechanical properties showed the advantages of the DPPmE process to fabricate FGM composites with tailored architectures.
