Cover Story: The 3D printing of bio-based scaffolds was achieved by combining acrylated soybean oil, a reactive diluent, and bioactive glass particles. This novel material offers the biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and precision of UV curing. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis reveals the excellent dispersion of bioactive glass powder within the polymer matrix, showing their spherical shape. The comprehensive characterization demonstrates the potential of these 3D-printed scaffolds reinforced with bioactive glass in regenerative medicine, offering a promising avenue for tissue engineering.
