Problems solved by technology

However, at present, the fibers ejected by electrospinning technology are difficult to form a scaffold with controllable fiber arrangement direction, and they have disadvantages such as low porosity, poor mechanical properties, low fiber fineness, and monotonous structure.
These shortcomings lead to the formation of biological scaffolds that are not conducive to the uniform distribution of cells and the secretion and formation of extracellular matrix, nor can they meet the needs of adhesion and growth of cells of different sizes.

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for printing a three-dimensional biological scaffold. The printing method comprises the following steps that an polycaprolactone (PCL) solution after beingmixed with glacial acetic acid evenly is added into a solution supplying system; the motion speed and path of a motion platform during printing are set through a motion control system, the distance between a spraying needle and a polished silicon crystal substrate is adjusted, and the solution injection rate is set; and a power supply is adjusted, and voltage is exerted between the spraying needleand a loading platform. The three-dimensional biological scaffold which is printed by the method and has various helical structure micro morphologies has higher strength, greater contact area and higher porosity, and thus is more favorable for cell adsorption during cell seeding and differentiation and multiplication during cell culture.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrospinning micro-nano fiber engineering, and in particular relates to an electrofluid jetting device for printing a three-dimensional biological support with micro-topography and a method for printing a three-dimensional biological support. Background technique [0002] Tissue engineering is the application of principles of life science and engineering to develop functional substitutes to reconstruct, repair or enhance tissue function. Tissue engineering has developed rapidly in the past two decades, especially in the last decade, and has the potential to repair and reconstruct many human tissues and organs, such as: skin, bone and cartilage, liver, heart valves and blood vessels, bladder, pancreas, nerves, cornea and other soft tissues, etc. Tissue engineering consists of three elements: seed cells, tissue engineering scaffolds, and tissue construction (or growth factors). Among them, porous scaffolds play ...
