Abstract
This paper focuses on investigating the technical potential for fabricating porous ceramic bioscaffolds for the repair of osseous defects from trauma or disease by inverse replication of three-dimensional (3-D) printed polymer template. Si3N4 ceramics with pore structure comprising orderly-interconnected big pore channels and well-distributed small pores are successfully fabricated by a technique combining 3-D printing, vacuum suction filtration and oxidation sintering. The Si3N4 ceramics fabricated from the Si3N4 powder with addition of 10â¯wt% talcum by sintering at 1250â¯Â°C for 2â¯h have little deformation, uniform microstructure, low linear shrinkage of 4.1%, high open porosity of 58.2%, relatively high compression strength of 6.4â¯MPa, orderly-interconnected big pore channels and well-distributed small pores, which are promising bioscaffold in the field of bone tissue engineering.
