Glad to contribute to the publication at Degruyter with editing by Bhima Vijayendran. Well worth the time to tell a quick story - Chapter 26 on how the FibreTuff PAPC evolved into a novel 3D printed biocompatible material composition and products. Will look forward to working again with Bhima. Thanks Bhima

3D Printing PAPC Bone Mechanics by Universities
Investigation by Implant Research Center at Drexel University on FibreTuff
Abigail Tetteh PhD student at the Implant Research Center Drexel University and Dr's MacDonald and Kurtz helped produce this poster where 3D printed bone like replicas made with FibreTuff were analyzed. The data collected indicated FibreTuff biocompatible filaments produced a cancellous structure. Awesome work performed by the team to validate FibreTuff impressive 3D printing qualities. More information coming soon.
Duquesne University 3D Prints Hyoid Bone with FibreTuff for Bone Fracture Investigation.
Roger Sherman's presented at Duquesne University this poster for Graduate Research Symposium. His work with Dr's Hammer, Viator and Marshall was outstanding. This use case by 3D printing FibreTuff biocompatible filaments as a hyoid bone will help professional's understand damage to the neck and simulate fractures.
Marshall University Prints Biocompatible Bone like Scaffolds with FibreTuff PAPC
Marshall University professor Dr Ross Salary and his students printed FibreTuff in a FDM method to replicate bone like scaffolds and presented the poster at the Biofabrication 2019 event held in Columbus Ohio October 20-22. Dr Salary has been steadfast to analyze and find a 3D printing bone replacement with like qualities.
3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC Biological Performance
Cutting-Edge Biomaterial Technology
3D printing of the FibreTuff PAPC II passed Cytotoxicity and Skin irritation tests (ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10) and USP Class VI testing. The in vivo testing was performed by NAMSA a regulatory approved testing company for medical devices and implants.
3D Printed FibreTuff Cellular Structure shows Apatite Formation
The 3D printing of FibreTuff biocompatible material has been investigated for bioactivity. The results showed biocompatible behavior with unprecedented apatite formation. These results with FibreTuff displayed improved results versus HaPEEK or AMPPEEK. FibreTuff PAPC has passed USP Class VI testing performed by NAMSA for temporary implant status.
3D Printed Bone Tissue Engineering Investigation shows Osteoblast Adhesion without Hydroxyapatite
The 3D Printing of porous bone like scaffolds made with FibreTuff PAPC were investigated in vitro and showed osteoblast adhesion. These bone tissue engineering tests were preformed by Dr Safadi at the Medical college in Northeast Ohio.
Bioactivity Investigation of 3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC Cellular Structure with Micropores
Bioactivity Investigation of 3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC Cellular Structure with Micropores
Dr Sikder of Cleveland State University performed a Bioactivity investigation of 3D printing FibreTuff, having microporous cellular structure. Dr Sikder immersed the microporous disc made with FibreTuff in Simulated Body Fluids (SBF). The SEM showed printed FibreTuff was biocompatible and had apatite formation.
