This study by Prof. Dr. Anggraini Barlian, M.Sc. and her colleagues aims to perform biological assessments of an electroactive and anti-infection scaffold based on polycaprolactone/0.5 wt% silver nanoparticles that was fabricated using a green synthesis approach followed by a 3D printing method without utilization of any toxic solvents. The combination of a green synthesis approach to prepare AgNPs and solvent-free 3D printing methods to fabricate the PCL/AgNPs scaffolds led to better biocompatibility and ability to induce the osteogenesis process, which is attractive for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
