The objective of this project is the manufacture of self-sensing implants for biomedical applications through 3D printing using filaments reinforced with ceramic particles. The development of functional materials that can provide particular properties beyond the mere structural support (biological, chemical, electromagnetic properties,...) has been enormous in recent years. In this project, it is intended to use polymeric filaments (PLA-based) for 3D printing by fused filament deposition (FDM), loaded with zirconia and hydroxyapatite ceramic particles. These particles give the polymer a high dielectric permittivity and high biocompatibility, which makes them ideal candidates for the design of electromagnetic sensors in the biomedical field.
