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