A 3D printable and highly stretchable tough hydrogel is developed by combining poly(ethylene glycol) sodium alginate, which synergize to form a tougher than natural cartilage. Encapsulated cells maintain high viability over 7 d culture period are deformed together with the hydrogel. By adding biocompatible nanoclay, printed in various shapes without requiring support material. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied authors. Such materials peer...
X. Zhao and co-workers develop on page 4035 a new biocompatible hydrogel system that is extremely tough stretchable can be 3D printed into complex structures, such as the multilayer mesh shown. Cells encapsulated in printable maintain high viability. 3D-printed structures of sustain mechanical loads deformations.
ABSTRACT Though over 30 years old, 3D printing has seen an explosion of interest in recent as technology become sufficiently advanced and affordable, enabling widespread usage, investigation the technique a method manufacture. However, materials commonly used for applications frequently suffer from poor mechanical properties are only suitable prototyping non‐load‐bearing objects. We report stable, tough resin formulation which incorporates spiroacetal molecules into polymer backbone displays...
We report a tough, semicrystalline, ternary thiol–ene polymer system containing linear dithiols, cross-linking trithiols, and spiroacetal alkene units in the main chain backbone that is synthesized by "click" ultraviolet photopolymerization one-step, solvent-free process. varied cross-link density to tune crystallinity microstructure; turn, thermomechanical properties such as yield strength, glass transition temperature, failure strain, stress–strain behavior could be modified controlled....
No technology has been specifically developed with the intent to reduce needle-related vascular access injuries; a significant source of complications and abandonment. We present initial pre-clinical study results novel, self-sealing, immediate cannulation dialysis graft that aims prevent complications; promote safe, reliable needle access; catheter use; could facilitate home hemodialyisis.The innovative design consists two chambers self-sealing properties materials side back wall puncture....
Poly(ester‐urethane‐urea) (PEUU) is one of many synthetic biodegradable elastomers under scrutiny for biomedical and soft tissue applications. The goal this study was to investigate the effect experimental parameters on mechanical properties PEUUs following exposure different degrading environments, similar that human body, using linear regression, producing predictive model. model utilizes two independent variables poly(caprolactone) (PCL) type copolymer crystallinity predict dependent...
