Two?Photon Polymerization of Sugar Responsive 4D Microstructures

Two-Photon Polymerization Fabrication of Doped Microstructures

Sugar-responsive block copolymers by direct RAFT polymerization of unprotected boronic acid monomers.

Novel sugar-responsive block copolymers were prepared by RAFT block copolymerization of unprotected boronic acid monomers, providing a direct route to supramolecular assemblies that dissociate upon the addition of glucose.

Two-Photon Polymerization Metrology: Characterization Methods of Mechanisms and Microstructures

The ability to create complex three-dimensional microstructures has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication in the last 15 years. For the most part, this is the result of a steady development of the additive manufacturing technique named two-photon polymerization (TPP). In a short amount of time, TPP has gone from being a microfabrication novelty employed largely by laser specialists t...

Responsive micromolds for sequential patterning of hydrogel microstructures.

Microscale hydrogels have been shown to be beneficial for various applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. A key aspect in these applications is the spatial organization of biological entities or chemical compounds within hydrogel microstructures. For this purpose, sequentially patterned microgels can be used to spatially organize either living materials to mimic biological co...
