The invention relates to a method for preparing a porous
bone scaffold by
laser and increasing mechanical and biological performances of the porous
bone scaffold by adding
zinc oxide with little amount, which belongs to the
bone tissue engineering field. Aiming at uncontrollable performances of aperture distribution, shape, space direction and
connectivity in the preparation method of a traditional
bone scaffold, and aiming at the disadvantages of poor
mechanical property and fast resolving rate existed in
tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), the invention provides the method for preparing the porous bone
scaffold by using a
selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, and provides the method for increasing performance by adding
zinc oxide (ZnO). The method for preparing the porous bone
scaffold has the advantages that the
porous scaffold which enables three-dimensional
interconnection is prepared by SLS,
zinc oxide with little amount is added for introducing into a
liquid phase, the particles densification can be promoted,
crystal grain is refined, and the mechanical performance is improved, simultaneously,
cell compatibility is increased, the degradation rate is reduced, and the biological performance is increased, so that the interconnected porous beta-TCP bone
scaffold with enhanced mechanical performance and good biological performance can be finally prepared. The method has the advantages of simple preparation technology, convenient operation, low cost, easy control of technical parameter and the like.
