Three-dimensional printing fiber reinforced hydrogel composites.
An additive manufacturing process that combines digital modeling and 3D printing was used to prepare fiber reinforced hydrogels in a single-step process. The composite materials were fabricated by selectively pattering a combination of alginate/acrylamide gel precursor solution and an epoxy based UV-curable adhesive (Emax 904 Gel-SC) with an extrusion printer. UV irradiation was used to cure th...
متن کاملFrom Microscale Devices to 3D Printing
At the intersection of stem cell biology and tissue engineering resides enormous potential for patient-specific drug screening, disease modeling, and tissue equivalents that offer hope to treat some of the most devastating cardiovascular diseases. Tissue engineering comprises the optimization of 3 primary components: (1) the type or types of cells being implanted such as somatic cells, induced ...
متن کاملMultifunctional 3D printing of heterogeneous hydrogel structures
Multimaterial additive manufacturing or three-dimensional (3D) printing of hydrogel structures provides the opportunity to engineer geometrically dependent functionalities. However, current fabrication methods are mostly limited to one type of material or only provide one type of functionality. In this paper, we report a novel method of multimaterial deposition of hydrogel structures based on a...
متن کاملDry-processable carbon nanotubes for functional devices and composites.
Assembly of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in effective and productive ways is of vital importance to their application. Recent progress in synthesis of CNTs has inspired new strategies for utilizing the unique physiochemical properties of CNTs in macroscale materials and devices. Assembling CNTs by dry processes (e.g., directly collecting CNTs in the form of freestanding films followed by pressing, s...
متن کاملControlling acute inflammation with fast releasing dexamethasone-PLGA microsphere/pva hydrogel composites for implantable devices.
BACKGROUND Continuous release of dexamethasone from PLGA microsphere/PVA hydrogel composites has been shown to suppress the inflammatory tissue reaction in response to subcutaneously implanted foreign material for a period of one month. The scope of the present work is to investigate whether suppressing the initial acute inflammatory phase with fast releasing dexamethasone-PLGA microsphere/PVA ...
