Abstract
Architected scaffolds are being used extensively in tissue engineering applications. Some studies have reported the architected structures of polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers (NF), prepared by fused filament fabrication (FFF)-based 3D printing. But hitherto little has been reported on the mechanical properties of PLA-PLA (NF)-PLA-based scaffolds. In this study, the PLA(NF) were electrospun in the first stage, and an architected scaffold of PLA-PLA(NF) (with 1, 2, and 3 layers)-PLA was prepared in the second stage. Further, the fracture morphology of the architected scaffolds was investigated from the crash-loading viewpoint. The PLA-PLA(2NF)-PLA scaffold resulted in an improved modulus of toughness (MoT) (5.62%) as compared to PLA. However, a significant drop in the elastic modulus (E) was observed. The maximum surface roughness (Ra: 204.50 nm) was observed at the fracture region of the PLA-PLA(3NF)-PLA scaffold. The results have been supported by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis.
