In the field of bone tissue engineering, silicon (Si) has been found as an essential element for bone growth. However, the use of silicon in bioceramics microspheres remains limited. In this work, different weight percentages (0.8, 1.6, and 2.4 wt %) of silicon was incorporated into hydroxyapatite and fabricated into microspheres. 2.4 wt % of Si incorporated into HAp microspheres (2.4 SiHAp) were...
Drop on demand (DOD) inkjet method is a cost‐efficient way of producing hydroxyapatite (HAp) microsphere scaffolds with narrow size distribution. However, DOD fabrication parameters may influence the yield and characteristics of the microsphere scaffolds. Testing different permutations and combinations of fabrication parameters is costly and time consuming. Taguchi method could be used as a predictive...
