Journal Article
Lehder, E. F., Ashcroft, I. A., Wildman, R. D., Ruiz-Cantu, L. A., & Maskery, I. (2021). A multiscale optimisation method for bone growth scaffolds based on triply periodic minimal surfaces. Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 20, 2085-2096. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10237-021-01496-8

Tissue engineered bone scaffolds are potential alternatives to bone allografts and autografts. Porous scaffolds based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are good candidates for tissue growth because they offer high surface-to-volume ratio, ha...

A hot melt 3D inkjet printing method with the potential to manufacture formulations in complex and adaptable geometries for the controlled loading and release of medicines is presented. This first use of a precisely controlled solvent free inkjet pri... Read More about 3D inkjet printing of tablets exploiting bespoke complex geometries for controlled and tuneable drug release.

Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks (2016)
Journal Article
Vafaei, S., Tuck, C., Ashcroft, I., & Wildman, R. D. (2016). Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 109, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2016.02.004

This paper investigates the effect of surface wettability on the cross-sectional profiles of printed nanofluid inks which can have a significant role on conductivity of printed lines that are used in the production of printed electronics. Glass subst... Read More about Surface microstructuring to modify wettability for 3D printing of nano-filled inks.

The creation of an object by selective laser melting (SLM) occurs by melting contiguous areas of a powder bed according to a corresponding digital model. It is therefore clear that the success of this metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology reli...
