Recent advancement on polyamide composites as an alloplastic alternative in 3D printing for craniofacial reconstruction
Polymer-based biomaterials are a material of choice for many surgeons due to their availability and durability. Many types are available on the market, but the search for improved properties to cater to technology demands, such as 3D printing, continues. Polyamide, to be used as an alternative in cr...

| Summary: | Polymer-based biomaterials are a material of choice for many surgeons due to their availability and durability. Many types are available on the market, but the search for improved properties to cater to technology demands, such as 3D printing, continues. Polyamide, to be used as an alternative in craniofacial reconstruction, has been a subject of interest recently. This chapter explores the physical and mechanical properties of polyamide composites fabricated viainjection moulding and 3D printing techniques along with their biocompatibility. With promising physical, mechanical, and biocompatibility properties, polyamide composites are expected to emerge as an alternative biomaterial for craniofacial reconstruction soon. © 2024, Bentham Books imprint.
