Abstract
3D printing is one of the effective scaffold fabrication techniques that emerged in the 21st century that has the potential to revolutionize the field of tissue engineering. The solid scaffolds developed by 3D printing are still one of the most sought-after approaches for developing hard-tissue regeneration and repair. However, applications of these solid scaffolds get limited due to their poor surface and bulk properties, which play a significant role in tissue integration, loadbearing, antimicrobial/antifouling properties, and others. As a result, several efforts have been directed to modify the surface and bulk of these solid scaffolds. These modifications have significantly improved the adoption of 3D-printed solid scaffolds and devices in the healthcare industry. Nevertheless, the in vivo implant applications of these 3D-printed solid scaffolds/devices are still under development. They require attention in terms of their surface/bulk properties, which dictate their functionality. Therefore, in the current review, we have discussed different 3D-printing parameters that facilitate the fabrication of solid scaffolds/devices with different properties. Further, changes in the bulk properties through material and microstructure modification are also being discussed. After that, we deliberated on the techniques that modify the surfaces through chemical and material modifications. The computational approaches for the bulk modification of these 3D-printed materials are also mentioned, focusing on tissue engineering. We have also briefly discussed the application of these solid scaffolds/devices in tissue engineering. Eventually, the review is concluded with an analysis of the choice of surface/bulk modification based on the intended application in tissue engineering.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 10:1081548.

Abstract
Bioengineered porous bone tissue materials based on additive manufacturing technology have gradually become a research hotspot in bone tissue-related bioengineering. Research on structural design, preparation and processing processes, and performance optimization has been carried out for this material, and further industrial translation and clinical applications have been implemented. However, based on previous studies, there is controversy in the academic community about characterizing the pore structure dimensions of porous materials, with problems in the definition logic and measurement method for specific parameters. In addition, there are significant differences in the specific morphological and functional concepts for the pore structure due to differences in defining the dimensional characterization parameters of the pore structure, leading to some conflicts in perceptions and discussions among researchers. To further clarify the definitions, measurements, and dimensional parameters of porous structures in bioengineered bone materials, this literature review analyzes different dimensional characterization parameters of pore structures of porous materials to provide a theoretical basis for unified definitions and the standardized use of parameters.

Abstract
Bone possesses an inherent capacity to fix itself. However, when a defect larger than a critical size appears, external solutions must be applied. Traditionally, an autograft has been the most used solution in these situations. However, it presents some issues such as donor-site morbidity. In this context, porous biodegradable scaffolds have emerged as an interesting solution. They act as external support for cell growth and degrade when the defect is repaired. For an adequate performance, these scaffolds must meet specific requirements: biocompatibility, interconnected porosity, mechanical properties and biodegradability. To obtain the required porosity, many methods have conventionally been used (e.g., electrospinning, freeze-drying and salt-leaching). However, from the development of additive manufacturing methods a promising solution for this application has been proposed since such methods allow the complete customisation and control of scaffold geometry and porosity. Furthermore, carbon-based nanomaterials present the potential to impart osteoconductivity and antimicrobial properties and reinforce the matrix from a mechanical perspective. These properties make them ideal for use as nanomaterials to improve the properties and performance of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. This work explores the potential research opportunities and challenges of 3D printed biodegradable composite-based scaffolds containing carbon-based nanomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications.
