Studies of the in vivo bioresorption rate of composite filaments on the basis of polylactide filled with chitin nanofibrils or silver nanoparticles by Konstantin Vadimovich Malafeev, Olga Andreevna Moskalyuk, Vladimir Evgenyevich Yudin, Dmitry Nikolayevich Suslov, Elena Nikolaevna Popova, Elena Mikhaylovna Ivan’kova, Alena Alexandrovna Popova

“…It has also been shown that the addition of fillers containing water-soluble polymers accelerates the bioresorption of composite sutures. A thread made from pure PLA lost half its strength by the 9th month of implantation, whereas for threads with the addition of CNPEG or Poviargol, this happened after 3.5 months. …”

A 3D-printed, high-strength, and drug-eluting composite for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections by Bijan Abar, Bijan Abar, Harrison Goonewardene, Richard Sheng, Mitchell H. Negus, Nicholas B. Allen, Cambre N. Kelly, Natasha C. Stinson, Matthew L. Becker, Joshua T. Thaden, Samuel B. Adams, Ken Gall

“…However, antibiotic elution was influenced by the type and concentration of the antibiotic in the composite. In contrast, the thermoplastic properties of PMMA led to a decrease in compressive properties with the addition of antibiotics, but PMMA was able to elute relatively more antibiotics.DiscussionThis study described a novel method to 3D print load bearing materials that can release antibiotics over 30 days. …”
