Feasibility and Limitations of the Advanced Replica Process for Bioactive Glasses
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Periodic 3D‐printed Kelvin‐cell templates enable a controlled advanced replica process for fabricating highly porous glass lattices. Across P45K9, 45S5, and 13–93, material‐dependent differences in coating, burnout, and shrinkage lead to distinct strut morphologies, while comparable final porosities of 83%–88% are retained.
