Abstract: 
Polycaprolactone–carboxymethyl cellulose composites have been obtained and used to print porous structures by material extrusion.Thematerialsusedcontained0,2and5%w/wofthecarboxymethylcelluloseadditive.Thesestructureshavebeen analyzed in terms of their morphology (including the evaluation of their porosity), mechanical properties under compression loadandcellaffinity.Cellaffinityhasbeenevaluatedbyculturingsheepmesenchymalstemcellsandanalyzingtheirviability bytheAlamarBlue® assayatdays1,3,6and8.Theresultsshowthatcompositessampleshavesimilarvaluesofporosityand apparent density than pure polycaprolactone ones. However, samples containing 5% w/w of carboxymethyl cellulose have micropores on the filaments due to a hindered deposition process. This characteristic affects the mechanical properties of the structures,sotheseoneshaveameancompressionmodulussignificantlylowerthanpurepolycaprolactonescaffolds.However, the samples containing 2% w/w of carboxymethyl cellulose show no significant difference with the pure polycaprolactone onesintermsoftheirmechanicalproperties.Moreover,thepresenceof2%w/wofadditiveimprovescellproliferationonthe surface of the porous structures. As complementary information, the flow properties of the composite materials were studied and the power law equations at 210 °C obtained, as this temperature was the 3D printing temperature. These equations can be useful for simulation and designing purposes of other manufacturing processes.
