[The ability to process hydrogels through 3D printing is very interesting in various areas of health. For this reason, the use of hydrogels has been proposed to create printed medicines. However, unlike tissue engineering applications, pharmaceutical printing requires more precise control throughout the process. In this work, we use the rheological aspects of the material and the process to establish the printing conditions required to obtain printed medicines. To do this, we use hydrogels mixed with drugs and analyze their properties in terms of fluidity and viscoelasticity. Finally, an attempt has been made to predict the printing parameters used through…

Random poly (vinyl chloride-co-butyl acrylate) and poly (vinyl chloride-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymers obtained by single electron transfer-degenerative chain transfer living radical polymerization (SET- DTLRP) are investigated as potential candidates for 3D Printing. The analysis of the rheological implications of 3D Printing process allows establishing the basic viscoelastic conditions that the samples should fulfil to be printable, avoiding the ‘trial and error’ procedure. The effect of temperature and acrylates concentration on the rheological properties and 3D printing feasibility is contemplated. Eventually, thermal degradation is also considered. It is demonstrated that the copolymers which contain butyl acrylate comonomer, instead of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, give…
