3D printing of gelatin/chitosan biodegradable hybrid hydrogel: Critical issues due to the crosslinking reaction, degradation phenomena and process parameters
Hydrogel materials are being investigated for application as scaffolds in tissue engineering owing to their many advantages, such as high water content, softness and flexibility similar to many soft tissues, tuneable physical, chemical, and biological properties, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and extensive framework for cell proliferation and survival. During the past decade, because of the great versatility offered in terms of processing approach, material selection, and customization, 3D printing has become a leading technology used to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds. Furthermore, high reproducibility and unparalleled control over structural and compositional characteristics make additive manufacturing the preferred technology for the fabrication of…
