3D Printing Method for Tough Multifunctional Particle-Based Double-Network Hydrogels

Donghao Zhao et al.

Summary: A new strategy for formulating hydrogel inks has been proposed to enable printing of strong and tough particle-based double-network hydrogels of arbitrary shapes without the need for any rheological modifiers. The hydrogel inks consist of microgels and a hydrogel precursor, which regulate the rheological properties of the ink and enable direct printing. This approach allows for the 3D printing of multifunctional hydrogel structures with high mechanical performance and strong adhesion to diverse materials, opening up new possibilities for applications in tissue engineering and soft robotics.
