Design of novel graded bone scaffolds based on triply periodic minimal surfaces with multi-functional pores by Rongwu Lai, Rongwu Lai, Jian Jiang, Jian Jiang, Yi Huo, Hao Wang, Sergei Bosiakov, Yongtao Lyu, Yongtao Lyu, Lei Li

“…The performance of these scaffolds was evaluated using finite element (FE) analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method.ResultsThe results from FE analysis indicated that the novel scaffold exhibited a lower elastic modulus, potentially mitigating the issue of stress shielding. Additionally, the results from CFD demonstrated that the mass transport capacity of the novel scaffold was significantly improved compared to conventional TPMS scaffolds.ConclusionIn summary, the novel TPMS scaffolds with graded multi-functional pores presented in this paper exhibited enhanced mechanical properties and mass transport capacity, making them ideal candidates for bone repair. …”
