3D Bioplotter Research Papers

Gels composed of multicomponent building blocks offer promising opportunities for the development of novel soft materials with unique and useful structures. While interpenetrating polymer networks have been extensively studied and applied in the creation of these gels, equivalent strategies utilizing colloidal particles have received limited scientific and technological attention. This study presents a novel class of thermo-responsive apolar double gels from interpenetrating networks of attractive colloidal silica and lipid particles. These double gels are easily assembled and suitable for the fabrication of 3D-printed edible soft constructs. Emphasis is focused on the rheological properties and structure emerging on the dilute regime…
