Abstract
In this work, functionally graded scaffolds of nanofiber reinforced bioactive glass have been fabricated using additive manufacturing technique. The bioactive glass was synthesized using sol-gel method. Pluronic F-127 was used as ink carrier for fabricating the scaffolds. The reinforced nanofibers are uniformly dispersed in the bioactive glass matrix. The inclusion of nanofiber showed 94% enhancement in the compressive strength of the fabricated scaffolds demonstrating their potential for bone tissue engineering applications.
