In this chapter a new method is described for processing biomaterials in order to fabricate scaffold for tissue engineering application using the properties of the pyro-electric platform. Starting from the studies developed about the manipulation of polymer for the fabrication of three-dimensional structures, such as microlenses, microresonators and microaxicon, in the following sections a new approach is described in case of polymer biocompatible and biodegradable. In fact, the design and fabrication of micro and nanostructures is of crucial importance in different areas of tissue engineering1. In this specific field, the use of biopolymers is very useful because of their inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility and biofunctionality.

Abstract
In this chapter a new method is described for processing biomaterials in order to fabricate scaffold for tissue engineering application using the properties of the pyro-electric platform. Starting from the studies developed about the manipulation of polymer for the fabrication of three-dimensional structures, such as microlenses, microresonators and microaxicon, in the following sections a new approach is described in case of polymer biocompatible and biodegradable. In fact, the design and fabrication of micro and nanostructures is of crucial importance in different areas of tissue engineering1. In this specific field, the use of biopolymers is very useful because of their inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility and biofunctionality.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
