[3D printing of drug-loaded hydrogels: rheology-printing conditions relationship]
[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…
3D printed hydrogels for oral personalized medicine
3D printing has become a promising and revolutionary pill-making technique for the pharmaceutical industry, enabling a relatively low-cost personalized medicine. Fused deposition modelling, also known by its initials FDM, is the most affordable technology for this goal, printing the material by a layer-by-layer deposition. However, the pressure assisted microsyringe technique is more adequate for working with drug containing inks as it does not need high temperatures, preventing the drug degradation. However, to make this goal possible, high accuracy and reproducibility is required, avoiding trial and error procedures. Thus, a correlation between rheology, printing parameters and the printed object was investigated.…
