New, printable and flexible ceramic bone grafts could be a game changer
Science NationWith support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), materials scientist Ramille Shah of Northwestern University and materials engineer Adam Jakus were able to validate the commercialization potential of a new 3D printable synthetic material they call "Hyperelastic Bone™," which they foresee will be a vast improvement over the current options, including other manmade materials. Shah and Jakus have doctorates in materials science and engineering.
The research in this episode was supported by NSF award #1508285 I-Corps: 3D Tissue Inks: Multifunctional 3D Printing Platform for Bone Graft Substitutes.
