RESUMO
Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) is widely used because it can be used to control the shape of porous scaffolds precisely by formula. In this paper, an I-wrapped package (I-WP) type porous scaffolds were constructed. The finite element method was used to study the relationship between the wall thickness and period, the morphology and mechanical properties of the scaffolds, as well as to study the compression and fluid properties. It was found that the porosity of I-WP type scaffolds with different wall thicknesses (0.1 ~ 0.2 mm) and periods (I-WP 1 ~ I-WP 5) ranged from 68.01% ~ 96.48%, and the equivalent elastic modulus ranged from 0.655 ~ 18.602 GPa; the stress distribution of the scaffolds tended to be uniform with the increase of periods and wall thicknesses; the equivalent elastic modulus of the I-WP type scaffolds was basically unchanged after the topology optimization, and the permeability was improved by 52.3%. In conclusion, for the I-WP type scaffolds, the period parameter can be adjusted first, then the wall thickness parameter can be controlled. Topology optimization can be combined to meet the design requirements. The I-WP scaffolds constructed in this paper have good mechanical properties and meet the requirements of repairing human bone tissue, which may provide a new choice for the design of artificial bone trabecular scaffolds.
