Abstract
Injuries are experienced in many forms and take time to heal depending on the severity. Some injuries are recovered from naturally/quickly, while others take longer periods of time. Scaffolds are porous structures which provide a platform for cells to regenerate on. They provide support in times when individuals cannot regenerate tissues on their own. The materials of scaffolds can be varied to determine the best mechanical property for implanting in the body. In our study, we have tested stress and strain of PCL and titanium material for six proposed designs. From our study, we were able to conclude that the ‘sphere’ provided the most stability whereas the ‘eccentric pores’ design was the least stable. These results were persistent for both the materials studied with Ti6Al4V having the greatest properties. As a result, we concluded that titanium is the best material to be used in terms of scaffolds, by implanting it as an eccentric pores and spheres.
