ABSTRACT
Hydrogel templates are formed to entrap various pre-polymers prior to their crosslinking process. Upon the completion of the crosslinking process, an independent polymer network with the same fiber geometry is formed. The hydrogel template can be removed if necessary. As the proof-of-principle, fibers from various polymers are fabricated. The fabricated hybrid polymeric fibers are bioactive and can be bioprinted or assembled using textile processes. The approach can be used for creating complex 3D constructs for various applications.
