- the elastic modulus of the scaffold can be increased by at least 20 or 50 percent, up to 200 or 500 percent or more, as compared to a scaffold of the same configuration and composition without nanoparticles.
- A. Patterned scaffolds By including nanoparticles in the scaffold in an appropriate amount (e.g., from 0.001 or 0.01 percent by weight, up to 10 or 20 percent by weight of the ink composition), cell scaffolds with improved definition of topographical features (such as lines, ridges, wells, vias, composite shapes, etc.) are obtained.

- PLGA polylactic co-glycolic acid
- Collagen I and fibronectin are natural biopolymers found in vivo and alginates have been shown to act as viable artificial replacements similar to glycoaminoglycosans which naturally occur in the body.
- PLGA is a material used in sutures and as additional material in tissue scaffolds, which hydrolyses into glycolic and lactic acids which are reabsorbed by the body.
- Collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins are typically reincorporated into the tissues following implantation.
- a variety of cell types are known to have increased proliferation on nanofibrous materials such as collagen fibrils or carbon nanotubes.

- InkJet printing offers a viable alternative for polymer scaffold development in tissue engineering as well as for other device manufacturing needs. We have shown that not only can carbon nanotubes be printed in polymeric systems, but they generate the formation of fibers within the matrix which could be valuable in allowing cellular penetration and fluid flow into the designed scaffold.
- the fibrous structures that form using the inkjet printing system are similar to the surface features of real tissue. Techniques like inkjet printing allow placement of cells directly into the scaffolds to form a complete material. Our technique allows fibrous structures to form directly from the printed material without the need for added materials or coatings onto the waiting substrates, which decreases the need to manipulate the 5 printed system.
- Supplementation to the properties of the scaffold by carbon nanotubes include increased strength and compressibility as shown in non-printed polymeric systems and further offer the advantage to employ the conductive nature of the SWNT for electrical stimulation of the seeded cells.
- We have developed new materials for use in an inkjet printing system which incorporate carbon nanotubes 0 for their beneficial properties while also adjusting the polymer morphology toward a more preferred cell substrate.

- ImI of this solution was suspended in a 3000 MW PEG solution prepared by adding 100mg/ml PEG in water and sonicating in a water bath for 10 minutes to obtain a uniform solution. This dispersion of nanotubes was uniform and printed repeatedly without any clogging. We refer to this solution as nanotube stock A.
- nanotube stock B A stock of O.lmg/ml HiPCo tubes in tetraglycol was sonicated with a horn sonicator on duty cycle 40% and power of 20% for ten minutes and a uniform solution was obtained. We refer to this solution as nanotube stock B.

All solutions retained a uniform dispersion of nanotubes following mixing of the polymer and tubes. Printing of the solutions followed immediately and all solutions were : printed onto clean glass slides, or copper grids for electron microscopy observation.
