3D Bioplotter Research Papers

Hydrogels and bioinks obtained from gelatin (Gel) generally present poor mechanical properties and require a series of time-consuming and stepwise chemical processes to exhibit improved elasticity and resistance to fatigue. Alkali lignin (AL) is an underutilized by-product of the paper and pulp industry. It is a widely available and inexpensive biomaterial that presents enormous potential for high-value applications owing to its ease of chemical modification and unique naturally occurring polyaromatic structure. This work aims to develop different GelAL hydrogel formulations with a single-step method that are innovative and sustainable. The results obtained from the mechanical, rheological, and degradation studies of…
