Abstract

During the technology process of 3DP fabrication bone scaffolds, the property of binder is a key factor which affects the quality of bone scaffold. In this research, three models of polymer binders were constructed and simulated by a molecular dynamics simulation method. Some properties (such as density, cohesive energy and mechanical properties) of polymer binders PVP, PAM and PVA were investigated at molecular level. The properties of three binders were also compared, and their inner relations were revealed. Therefore, this study not only forecasts the basic properties of the commonly used polymer binders, but also provides the theoretical basis for the choice of binder in technology process of 3DP fabrication bone scaffolds.
