INTRODUCTION: The electro-actuated shape memory polymer scaffold has gained increasing attentions on the utilization of minimally invasive surgery for bone defect repair, which requires to construct an efficient conductive network to accomplish electrical-to-thermal conversion from conductive fillers to the entire matrix evenly.
OBJECTIVES: In this study, multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was convective self-assembled on the ZnO tetrapod (t-ZnO) template, where MWCNT was controlled to disperse uniformly and regulated to contact with each other effectively due to the immersion capillary force during the evaporation loss of the convective self-assembly process, leading to an interwoven layer on the t-ZnO surface.
METHODS: The prepared t-ZnO@MWCNT assembly was embedded in the poly(L-lactic acid)/thermoplastic polyurethane (PLLA/TPU) scaffold fabricated via selective laser sintering to construct a 3D conductive MWCNT network for improving the electro-actuated shape memory properties.
RESULTS: It was observed that the interconnected MWCNT formed a 3D conductive network in the matrix without significant aggregation, which boosted the electrical-to-thermal properties of the scaffold, and the scaffold containing t-ZnO@MWCNT assembly possessed better electro-actuated shape memory properties with shape fixity of 98.0% and shape recovery of 98.8%.
CONCLUSION: The scaffold exhibited improved electro-actuated shape memory properties and mechanical properties and the osteogenic inductivity was promoted with the combined effect of t-ZnO and electrical stimulation.
