During the MIBE seminar talks, young scientists at MIBE present highlights of their research in the field of biomedical engineering. Each semester, one speaker is awarded an internal prize for the best presentation.
Kilian Müller, doctoral candidate at the Chair of Medical Materials and Implants, has won the award for the summer semester 2022 with his presentation on "Melt Electrowriting of Bioinspired Scaffolds for Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering".
Abstract: Melt Electrowriting (MEW) is an electric field assisted fiber forming technology that has proven to be a valuable tool for additive manufacturing (AM) of bioinspired scaffolds for cardiovascular tissue engineering. By combining electrohydrodynamic fiber forming with accurate deposition control in a layer-by-layer fashion, MEW allows to fabricate precisely defined 3D scaffold architectures from polymer microfibers. This talk presents MEW as a micro-AM technique and highlights recent advances in the design and fabrication of MEW scaffolds for cardiovascular tissue engineering. To this end, a digital design platform for the automatized generation of toolpaths for MEW is introduced, and the actual scaffold fabrication strategies are discussed. Furthermore, the structure-property relationships of such scaffolds are elucidated both from a mechanical as well as a biological perspective.
