The fabrication of robots and their embedded systems is challenging due to the complexity interacting components. integration additive manufacturing (AM) robotics has made advancements in through sophisticated state-of-the-art AM technologies materials. With emergence 3D printing, printing materials are also being considered engineered for specific applications. This study reviews different rob...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the suitability of stereolithography (SLA) to fabricate drug-loaded tablets with modified-release characteristics. The SLA printer creates solid objects by using a laser beam to photopolymerise monomers. In this work polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) was used as a monomer and diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide was used as a photo-initiator....

PEG-based hydrogels have become widely used as drug delivery and tissue scaffolding materials. Common among PEG hydrogel-forming polymers are photopolymerizable acrylates such as polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA). Microfluidics and microfabrication technologies have recently enabled the miniaturization of PEGDA structures, thus enabling many possible applications for nano- and micro- struc...

Nutrient conduit networks can be introduced within the Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate (PEGDA) tissue construct to enable cells to survive in the scaffold. Nutrient conduit networks can be created on PEGDA by macrochannel to nanochannel fabrication techniques. Such networks can influence the mechanical and cell activities of PEGDA scaffold. There is no study conducted to evaluate the effect of n...

In the present study, a set of hydrogels were synthesized using N-isopropylacrylamide with various cross linkers at dosages via free radical polymerization. Thermal and structural properties characterized thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) Fourier Transformation Infrared Radiation (FTIR) spectroscopy. The effect crosslinkers such as N,N´-Methylenebisacrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGD...
