The study titled "3D printing of PVA / hexagonal boron nitride / bacterial cellulose composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering" by our PhD students Deniz Aki, Songul Ulag and Semra Unal was published in IF: 6.289 Materials and Design. 

In this study, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Hexagonal Boron nitride (BN)/Bacterial cellulose (BC) composite structures were produced using 3D printing technology to create a three-dimensional scaffold for bone tissue applications. As a result of the study, it was proved that hBN and BC doped functional PVA scaffolds are a suitable extracellular matrix structure for bone cells.

We would like to thank the researchers of our partner universities and NBUAM staff who contributed to the study.
