Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135365. [PMID: 39244113 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 09/01/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
The feasibility of microwave heating to induce color/flavor changes of 4D printed white mushroom gel containing curcumin or γ-dodecalactone (γ-DDL) microcapsules was studied. Using gelatin/ β-cyclodextrin as wall material and soy protein isolate as emulsifier, microcapsules containing curcumin or γ-DDL were prepared by spray drying method. The microcapsules containing curcumin were mixed into white mushroom powder at different mass ratios (0, 0.1, 1, 3, 5 %, w/w) as printing ink. With the increase of microcapsule content, the viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus of printing ink increased, but the water distribution and recovery performance did not change significantly. With the extension of heating time, the brightness value (L*) and the redness value (a*) of the printed sample increased, and the yellowness value (b*) decreased. After adding 3 % (w/w) microcapsules containing γ-DDL, the content change of the target flavor substance in the printed sample during microwave treatment was determined based on Gaschromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that microwave treatment could promote the release of flavor substances, and the content was 272.37 μg/kg when heated for 3 min. This study provides a new idea for the development of 4D printed food with special color and target flavor based on microcapsule technology.

Abstract
This review article presents a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field of 3D printable structures with self-healing properties. Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is a versatile technology that enables the rapid manufacturing of complex geometric structures with precision and functionality not previously attainable. However, the application of 3DP technology is still limited by the availability of materials with customizable properties specifically designed for additive manufacturing. The addition of self-healing properties within 3D printed objects is of high interest as it can improve the performance and lifespan of structural components, and even enable the mimicking of living tissues for biomedical applications, such as organs printing. The review will discuss and analyze the most relevant results reported in recent years in the development of self-healing polymeric materials that can be processed via 3D printing. After introducing the chemical and physical self-healing mechanism that can be exploited, the literature review here reported will focus in particular on printability and repairing performances. At last, actual perspective and possible development field will be critically discussed.

Abstract
The rheological properties of dough closely correlate to a dough's ability to be three-dimensionally (3D) printed, but only weakly characterize its fermentation and baking process. This study aimed to use rheo-fermentation properties to predict rheological properties of dough, thereby obtaining indirect information on both 3D printing properties and post-processing characteristics. The 3D printing behavior and baking quality of the dough were measured. A gluten content of 13% was found to be the most suitable for 3D printing and exhibited desirable performance during fermentation and baking. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong correlation between rheological properties and rheo-fermentation properties. Using partial least squares regression-based models, the coefficients of determination of the prediction for rheological parameters (G', G″, η*) were 0.920, 0.854 and 0.863, respectively, with corresponding residual prediction deviation values of 3.063, 3.774, and 4.773. These findings suggest that 3D printing of bread dough products can be easily and successfully accomplished.

Abstract
Towards the difficulties of traditional processing technology in loading high-concentration functional fillers to realize the target electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI SE) performance, and constructing the arbitrary-designated architectures for serving advanced electronics, this work innovatively formulated a functional multi-walled carbon nanotubes@cellulose nanofibers (MWCNT@OCNF) ink for direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing, which not only possessed high freedom on the proportion of functional particles, but also imparted to the ideal rheological performance for 3D printing. Based on the pre-programmed printing trajectories, a series of porous scaffolds featuring exceptional functionalities were architected. Particularly for the electromagnetic waves (EMWs) shielding behaviors, the optimized one with "full-mismatched" architecture posed the ultralight structure (0.11 g/cm3) and superior SE performance (43.5 dB) in the X-band frequency region. More encouragingly, the 3D-printed scaffold with hierarchical pores possessed the ideal electromagnetic compatibility on EMWs signal, where the radiation intensity generated by EMWs signal fluctuated in a step pattern in 0 and 1500 μT/cm2 as loading and unloading scaffolds. Overall, this study paved a novel path for the formulation of functional inks to print lightweight, multi-structure, and high-efficiency EMI SE scaffolds for the next-generation shielding elements.

Abstract
Over the last decade, efforts have been oriented toward the development of suitable gels for 3D printing, with controlled morphology and shear-thinning behavior in well-defined conditions. As a multidisciplinary approach to the fabrication of complex biomaterials, 3D bioprinting combines cells and biocompatible materials, which are subsequently printed in specific shapes to generate 3D structures for regenerative medicine or tissue engineering. A major interest is devoted to the printing of biomimetic materials with structural fidelity after their fabrication. Among some requirements imposed for bioinks, such as biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and the possibility to be sterilized, the nondamaging processability represents a critical issue for the stability and functioning of the 3D constructs. The major challenges in the field of printable gels are to mimic at different length scales the structures existing in nature and to reproduce the functions of the biological systems. Thus, a careful investigation of the rheological characteristics allows a fine-tuning of the material properties that are manufactured for targeted applications. The fluid-like or solid-like behavior of materials in conditions similar to those encountered in additive manufacturing can be monitored through the viscoelastic parameters determined in different shear conditions. The network strength, shear-thinning, yield point, and thixotropy govern bioprintability. An assessment of these rheological features provides significant insights for the design and characterization of printable gels. This review focuses on the rheological properties of printable bioinspired gels as a survey of cutting-edge research toward developing printed materials for additive manufacturing.

Abstract
The exciting advancements in 3D-printing of soft materials are changing the landscape of materials development and fabrication. Among various 3D-printers that are designed for soft materials fabrication, the direct ink writing (DIW) system is particularly attractive for chemists and materials scientists due to the mild fabrication conditions, compatibility with a wide range of organic and inorganic materials, and the ease of multi-materials 3D-printing. Inks for DIW need to possess suitable viscoelastic properties to allow for smooth extrusion and be self-supportive after printing, but molecularly facilitating 3D printability to functional materials remains nontrivial. While supramolecular binding motifs have been increasingly used for 3D-printing, these inks are largely optimized empirically for DIW. Hence, this review aims to establish a clear connection between the molecular understanding of the supramolecularly bound motifs and their viscoelastic properties at bulk. Herein, extrudable (but not self-supportive) and 3D-printable (self-supportive) polymeric materials that utilize noncovalent interactions, including hydrogen bonding, host-guest inclusion, metal-ligand coordination, micro-crystallization, and van der Waals interaction, have been discussed in detail. In particular, the rheological distinctions between extrudable and 3D-printable inks have been discussed from a supramolecular design perspective. Examples shown in this review also highlight the exciting macroscale functions amplified from the molecular design. Challenges associated with the hierarchical control and characterization of supramolecularly designed DIW inks are also outlined. The perspective of utilizing supramolecular binding motifs in soft materials DIW printing has been discussed. This review serves to connect researchers across disciplines to develop innovative solutions that connect top-down 3D-printing and bottom-up supramolecular design to accelerate the development of 3D-print soft materials for a sustainable future.

Abstract
3D printing is a manufacturing technique in constant evolution. Day by day, new materials and methods are discovered, making 3D printing continually develop. 3D printers are also evolving, giving us objects with better resolution, faster, and in mass production. One of the areas in 3D printing that has excellent potential is 4D printing. It is a technique involving materials that can react to an environmental stimulus (pH, heat, magnetism, humidity, electricity, and light), causing an alteration in their physical or chemical state and performing another function. Lately, 3D/4D printing has been increasingly used for fabricating materials aiming at drug delivery, scaffolds, bioinks, tissue engineering (soft and hard), synthetic organs, and even printed cells. The majority of the materials used in 3D printing are polymeric. These materials can be of natural origin or synthetic ones of different architectures and combinations. The use of block copolymers can combine the exemplary properties of both blocks to have better mechanics, processability, biocompatibility, and possible stimulus behavior via tunable structures. This review has gathered fundamental aspects of 3D/4D printing for biomaterials, and it shows the advances and applications of block copolymers in the field of biomaterials over the last years.

Abstract
Among various available 3D bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting allows the deposition of cell-laden bioink, ensuring predefined scaffold architecture that may offer living tissue regeneration. With a combination of unique characteristics such as biocompatibility, less cell toxicity, and high water content, natural hydrogels are a great candidate for bioink formulation for the extrusion-based 3D bioprinting process. However, due to its low mechanical integrity, hydrogel faces a common challenge in maintaining structural integrity. To tackle this challenge, the rheological properties, specifically the shear thinning behavior (reduction of viscosity with increasing the applied load/shear rate on hydrogels) of a set of hybrid hydrogels composed of cellulose-derived nanofiber (TEMPO-mediated nano-fibrillated cellulose, TO-NFC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and commonly used alginate, were explored. A total of 46 compositions were prepared using higher (0.5% and 1.0%) and lower percentages (0.005% and 0.01%) of TO-NFC, 1-4% of CMC, and 1-4% of alginate to analyze the shear thinning factors such as the values of n and K, which were determined for each composition from the flow diagram and co-related with the 3D printability. The ability to tune shear thinning factors with various ratios of a nanofiber can help achieve a 3D bio-printed scaffold with defined scaffold architecture.

Abstract
The advancement of four-dimensional (4D) printing has been fueled by the rise in demand for additive manufacturing and the expansion in shape-memory materials. The printing of smart substances that respond to external stimuli is known as 4D printing. 4D printing allows highly controlled shapes to simulate the physiological milieu by adding time dimensions. The 4D printing is suitable with current progress in smart compounds, printers, and its mechanism of action. The 4D printing paradigm, a revolutionary enhancement of 3D printing, was anticipated by various engineering disciplines. Tissue engineering, medicinal, consumer items, aerospace, and organ engineering use 4D printing technology. The current review mainly focuses on the basics of 4D printing and the methods used therein. It also discusses the time-dependent behavior of stimulus-sensitive compounds, which are widely used in 4D printing. In addition, this review highlights material aspects, specifically related to shape-memory polymers, stimuli-responsive materials (classified as physical, chemical, and biological), and modified materials, the backbone of 4D printing technology. Finally, potential applications of 4D printing in the biomedical sector are also discussed with challenges and future perspectives.

Integrating pressure sensor control into semi-solid extrusion 3D printing to optimize medicine manufacturing. Int J Pharm X 2022; 4:100133.

Abstract
Semi-solid extrusion (SSE) is a three-dimensional printing (3DP) process that involves the extrusion of a gel or paste-like material via a syringe-based printhead to create the desired object. In pharmaceuticals, SSE 3DP has already been used to manufacture formulations for human clinical studies. To further support its clinical adoption, the use of a pressure sensor may provide information on the printability of the feedstock material in situ and under the exact printing conditions for quality control purposes. This study aimed to integrate a pressure sensor in an SSE pharmaceutical 3D printer for both material characterization and as a process analytical technology (PAT) to monitor the printing process. In this study, three materials of different consistency were tested (soft vaseline, gel-like mass and paste-like mass) under 12 different conditions, by changing flow rate, temperature, or nozzle diameter. The use of a pressure sensor allowed, for the first time, the characterization of rheological properties of the inks, which exhibited temperature-dependent, plastic and viscoelastic behaviours. Controlling critical material attributes and 3D printing process parameters may allow a quality by design (QbD) approach to facilitate a high-fidelity 3D printing process critical for the future of personalized medicine.

Abstract
High-hydration hydrogels based on carbohydrate polymers and green preparation methods have attracted intensive research focus recently. Driven by the attractive functions of starch, oxidized maize starch (OMS) was chosen and the related hydrogel (3D-OMS) was constructed by hot-extrusion 3D printing (HE-3DP). Meanwhile, the effect of different OMS concentrations (11 %-19 %) on its printability, structure and hydration properties were systematically investigated. The results showed that the formation of porous structure during HE-3DP environment contributed to rapid water absorption and well water holding capacity of 3D-OMS. Interestingly, as the OMS concentration increased from 11 % to 19 %, the 3D-OMS presented great hydration properties, with its maximum water absorption capacity and water holding capacity reaching 3013.43 % (11-OMS) and 93.53 % (19-OMS), respectively. Among them, 13 % was the best concentration for HE-3DP. Besides, 3D-OMS also exhibited good biodegradability and cytocompatibility. These results demonstrated potential for developing new starch-based biomedical hydrogel with great hydration properties through HE-3DP technology.

Abstract
Recently, personalized meals and customized food design by means of 3D printing technology have been considered over traditional food manufacturing methods. This study examined the effects of different proteins (soy, cricket, and egg albumin protein) in two concentrations (3% and 5%) on rheological, textural, and 3D printing characteristics. The textural and microstructural properties of different formulations were evaluated and compared. The addition of soy and cricket protein induced an increase in yield stress (τ₀), storage modulus (G′), and loss modulus (G″) while egg albumin protein decreased these parameters. The textural analysis (back extrusion and force of extrusion) demonstrated the relationship between increasing the amount of protein in the formula with an improvement in consistency and index of viscosity. These values showed a straight correlation with the printability of fortified formulas. 3D printing of the different formulas revealed that soy and cricket proteins allow the targeting of complex geometry with multilayers.

Abstract
The polymerization of short-chain alkyl glycidyl ethers (SCAGEs) enables the synthesis of biocompatible polyethers with finely tunable hydrophilicity. Aliphatic polyethers, most prominently poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), are utilized in manifold biomedical applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and aqueous solubility. By incorporation of short hydrophobic side-chains at linear polyglycerol, control of aqueous solubility and the respective lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solution is feasible. Concurrently, the chemically inert character in analogy to PEG is maintained, as no further functional groups are introduced at the polyether structure. Adjustment of the hydrophilicity and the thermoresponsive behavior of the resulting poly(glycidyl ether)s in a broad temperature range is achieved either by the combination of the different SCAGEs or with PEG as a hydrophilic block. Homopolymers of methyl and ethyl glycidyl ether (PGME, PEGE) are soluble in aqueous solution at room temperature. In contrast, n-propyl glycidyl ether and iso-propyl glycidyl ether lead to hydrophobic polyethers. The use of a variety of ring-opening polymerization techniques allows for controlled polymerization, while simultaneously determining the resulting microstructures. Atactic as well as isotactic polymers are accessible by utilization of the respective racemic or enantiomerically pure monomers. Polymer architectures varying from statistical copolymers, di- and triblock structures to star-shaped architectures, in combination with PEG, have been applied in various thermoresponsive hydrogel formulations or polymeric surface coatings for cell sheet engineering. Materials responding to stimuli are of increasing importance for "smart" biomedical systems, making thermoresponsive polyethers with short-alkyl ether side chains promising candidates for future biomaterials.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogel that can be 3D printed via a direct-ink write process to afford cross-linked hydrogel networks that can be post-functionalized with thiol-bearing molecules. Poly(alkyl glycidyl ether)s with methacrylate groups at their termini were synthesized and self-assembled into hydrogels with three key stimuli-responsive behaviors necessary for extrusion based 3D printing: a sol-gel temperature response, shear-thinning behavior, and the ability to be photochemically crosslinked. In addition, the chemically crosslinked hydrogels demonstrated a temperature dependent swelling consistent with an LCST behavior. Pyridyl disulfide urethane methacrylate (PDS-UM) monomers were introduced into the network as a thiol-reactive handle for post-functionalization of the hydrogel. The reactivities of these hydrogels were investigated at different temperatures (5, 25, 37 °C) and swelling statuses (as-cured versus preswollen) using glutathione as a reactive probe. To illustrate the versatility of the platform, a number of additional thiol-containing probes such as proteins, polymers, and small molecules were conjugated to the hydrogel network at different temperatures, pH's, and concentrations. In a final demonstration of the multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogel platform, a customized DIW 3D printer was used to fabricate a printed object that was subsequently conjugated with a fluorescent tag and displayed the ability to change in size with environmental temperature.

Abstract
Synthetic, degradable macromonomers have been developed to serve as ink for 3D printing technologies based on direct-ink-writing. The macromonomers are purposely designed to be cross-linkable under the radical mechanism, to impart hydrophilicity to the final material, and to have rheological properties matching the printer's requirements. The suitable viscosity enables the ink to be printed at room temperature, in absence of organic solvents, and to be cross-linked to manufacture soft 3D scaffolds that show no indirect cytotoxicity and have a hydration capacity of up to 100% their mass and a compressive modulus in the range of 0.4-2 MPa.

Abstract
Two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D CMOFs) can be regarded as high-performance electrode substances owing to their rich hierarchical porous architecture and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the sluggish kinetics behavior of electrodes within the bulk structure restricts their advances in energy storage fields. Herein, a series of graphene-based mixed-dimensional composite aerogels are achieved by incorporating the 2D M-tetrahydroxy-1,4-quinone (M-THQ) (M = Cu, Cu/Co, or Cu/Ni) into CNTs@rGO aerogel electrodes using a 3D-printing direct ink writing (DIW) technique. Benefiting from the high capacity of M-THQ and abundant porosity of the 3D-printed microlattice electrodes, an excellent capacitive performance of the M-THQ@CNTs@rGO cathodes is achieved based on the fast electron/ion transport. Furthermore, the 3D-printed lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitor (LIHCs) device assembled with Cu/Co-THQ@CNTs@rGO cathode and C60@VNNWs@rGO anode delivers a remarkable electrochemical performance. More importantly, this work manifests the practicability of printing 2D CMOFs electrodes, which provides a substantial research basis for 3D printing energy storage.

Abstract
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was utilized to investigate the deposition process and printability of rice paste. The rheological and preliminary printing studies showed that paste formed from rice to water ratio (100:80) is suitable for 3D printing (3DP). Controlling the ambient temperature at 47±5 °C also contributed to improving the printed sample’s structural stability. The viscoelastic simulation indicated that the nozzle diameter influenced the flow properties of the printed material. As the nozzle diameter decreased (1.2 mm to 0.8 mm), the die swell ratio increased (13.7 to 15.15%). The rise in the swell ratio was a result of the increasing pressure gradient at the nozzle exit (5.48×106 Pa to 1.53×107 Pa). The additive simulation showed that the nozzle diameter affected both the residual stress and overall deformation of the sample. CFD analysis, therefore, demonstrates a significant advantage in optimizing the operating conditions for printing rice paste.

Abstract
We proposed a simple method to process hydrogels containing polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanofibrils (PVA/CNF) to prepare volumetric architectures by direct ink writing (DIW). The presence of CNF in the aqueous PVA suspensions conferred rheology profiles that were suitable for extrusion and solidification in pre-designed shapes. The viscoelastic behavior of the hybrid inks enabled precise control on processability and shape retention, for instance, as demonstrated in multilayered lattice structures of high fidelity. After lyophilization, the obtained 3D-printed hydrogels presented a very high porosity, with open and interconnected pores, allowing a high-water uptake capacity (up to 1600%). The mechanical strength of the composite 3D-printed materials matched those of soft tissues, opening opportunities for skin applications. As such, drug-loaded samples revealed a controlled and efficient delivery of an antioxidant (ascorbic acid) in PBS buffer media at 23 °C (~80% for 8 h). Altogether, PVA/CNF hydrogels were introduced as suitable precursors of 3D-lattice geometries with excellent physical and mechanical characteristics.

Abstract
While the hydrolytic cleavage of ester groups is widely exploited in degradable hydrogels, the scission in the midst of chain backbones can bring dramatic changes in the mechanical properties of the hydrogels. However, the predictive design of the mechanical profile of the hydrogels is a complex task, mainly due to the randomness of the location of chain scission. To overcome this challenge, we herein present degradable ABA triblock poly(ethylene oxide)-based hydrogels containing an A-block bearing acetal pendant, which provides systematically tunable mechano-temporal properties of the hydrogels. In particular, hydrophobic endocyclic tetrahydropyranyl or exocyclic 1-(cyclohexyloxy)ethyl acetal pendants are gradually cleaved by acidic hydrolysis, leading to the gel-to-sol transition at room temperature. Most importantly, a series of dynamic mechanical analyses coupled with ex situ NMR spectroscopy revealed that the hydrolysis rate can be orthogonally and precisely tuned by changing the chemical structure and hydrophobicity of acetal pendants. This study provides a platform for the development of versatile degradable hydrogels in a highly controllable manner.

Abstract
Our group has recently invented a novel series of thermoresponsive ABC triblock terpolymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate with average Mn 300 g mol-1 (OEGMA300, A unit), n-butyl methacrylate (BuMA, B unit) and di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (DEGMA, C unit) with excellent thermogelling properties. In this study, we investigate how the addition of OEGMA300x homopolymers of varying molar mass (MM) affects the gelation characteristics of the best performing ABC triblock terpolymer. Interestingly, the gelation is not disrupted by the addition of the homopolymers, with the gelation temperature (Tgel) remaining stable at around 30 °C, depending on the MM and content in OEGMA300x homopolymer. Moreover, stronger gels are formed when higher MM OEGMA300x homopolymers are added, presumably due to the homopolymer chains acting as bridges between the micelles formed by the triblock terpolymer, thus, favouring gelation. In summary, novel formulations based on mixtures of triblock copolymer and homopolymers are presented, which can provide a cost-effective alternative for use in biomedical applications, compared to the use of the triblock copolymer only.

Abstract
The use of self-healing (SH) polymers to make 3D-printed polymeric parts offers the potential to increase the quality of 3D-printed parts and to increase their durability and damage tolerance due to their (on-demand) dynamic nature. Nevertheless, 3D-printing of such dynamic polymers is not a straightforward process due to their polymer architecture and rheological complexity and the limited quantities produced at lab-scale. This limits the exploration of the full potential of self-healing polymers. In this paper, we present the complete process for fused deposition modelling of a room temperature self-healing polyurethane. Starting from the synthesis and polymer slab manufacturing, we processed the polymer into a continuous filament and 3D printed parts. For the characterization of the 3D printed parts, we used a compression cut test, which proved useful when limited amount of material is available. The test was able to quasi-quantitatively assess both bulk and 3D printed samples and their self-healing behavior. The mechanical and healing behavior of the 3D printed self-healing polyurethane was highly similar to that of the bulk SH polymer. This indicates that the self-healing property of the polymer was retained even after multiple processing steps and printing. Compared to a commercial 3D-printing thermoplastic polyurethane, the self-healing polymer displayed a smaller mechanical dependency on the printing conditions with the added value of healing cuts at room temperature.

Abstract
The integration of microfluidics with biomedical research is confronted with considerable limitations due to its body materials. With high content of water, hydrogels own superior biocompatibility and degradability. Can hydrogels become another material choice for the construction of microfluidic chips, particularly biofluidics? The present review aims to systematically establish the concept of hydrogel-based microfluidic chips (HMCs) and address three main concerns: i) why choosing hydrogels? ii) how to fabricate HMCs?, and iii) in which fields to apply HMCs? It is envisioned that hydrogels may be used increasingly as substitute for traditional materials and gradually act as the body material for microfluidic chips. The modifications of conventional process are highlighted to overcome issues arising from the incompatibility between the construction methods and hydrogel materials. Specifically targeting at the "soft and wet" hydrogels, an efficient flowchart of "i) high resolution template printing; ii) damage-free demolding; iii) twice-crosslinking bonding" is proposed. Accordingly, a broader microfluidic chip concept is proposed in terms of form and function. Potential biomedical applications of HMCs are discussed. This review also highlights the challenges arising from the material replacement, as well as the future directions of the proposed concept. Finally, the authors' viewpoints and perspectives for this emerging field are discussed.

Abstract
Super-soft elastomers derived from bottlebrush polymers show promise as advanced materials for biomimetic tissue and device applications, but current processing strategies are restricted to simple molding. Here, we introduce a design concept that enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of super-soft and solvent-free bottlebrush elastomers at room temperature. The key advance is a class of inks comprising statistical bottlebrush polymers that self-assemble into well-ordered body-centered cubic sphere phases. These soft solids undergo sharp and reversible yielding at 20°C in response to shear with a yield stress that can be tuned by manipulating the length scale of microphase separation. The addition of a soluble photocrosslinker allows complete ultraviolet curing after extrusion to form super-soft elastomers with near-perfect recoverable elasticity well beyond the yield strain. These structure-property design rules create exciting opportunities to tailor the performance of 3D-printed elastomers in ways that are not possible with current materials and processes.

Abstract
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels with mild gel-forming process, good biocompatibility and biodegradability have been widely studied as bioinks and biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting. However, the hydrogels synthesized via copolymerization of aliphatic polyesters and polyethylene glycols have low mechanical strength and cannot meet the needs of 3D printing. In this paper, we propose a strategy of enhancing the strength of hydrogels by introducing crystallization between blocks to meet the requirements of 3D bioprinting inks. A series of polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PCL-PEG-PCL) triblock polymers were prepared by ring-opening polymerization, of which the strong crystallinity of polycaprolactone blocks improved the printability and enhanced the mechanical properties of the ink. It was found that the resulted hydrogels were temperature-responsive, and the PCL blocks could form a crystalline phase in the state of the hydrogel, thereby significantly increasing the modulus of the hydrogel. Moreover, the mechanical strength of the hydrogel could be adjusted by changing the composition ratio of each block of the copolymer. The 3D printing results showed that the PCL-PEG-PCL hydrogel with crystallinity can not only be extruded and printed via temperature adjustment, but also the three-dimensional structure can be effectively maintained after 3D printing. The gels demonstrated good cell compatibility, and the cell survival rate was maintained at a high level.

Abstract
This work investigated the relationship between structure, rheological properties and 3D printability of starch. For this purpose, the structural evolution of various starch gels at different concentrations and printing temperatures was systematically studied. The mechanical strength (G', τy) and extrudability (τf) of CS and RS gels were used to determine its 3D printability. Furthermore, G', τy and τf were closely related to the structure of starch and starch gel network. Ascribing to compact and stable gel network, CS samples with 20% concentration at 70-75 °C printing temperature and RS samples with 15-20% concentration at 75-80 °C printing temperature displayed preferable printing values (G', τy and τf), indicating the suitability for HE-3DP. RS samples exhibited higher mechanical strength than CS samples and were more suitable to print owing to the formation of new crystal structure. Overall, this work provided important information for HE-3DP based foods with good printability.

Abstract
3D printing is a rapidly growing technology that has an enormous potential to impact a wide range of industries such as engineering, art, education, medicine, and aerospace. The flexibility in design provided by this technique offers many opportunities for manufacturing sophisticated 3D devices. The most widely utilized method is an extrusion-based solid-freeform fabrication approach, which is an extremely attractive additive manufacturing technology in both academic and industrial research communities. This method is versatile, with the ability to print a range of dimensions, multimaterial, and multifunctional 3D structures. It is also a very affordable technique in prototyping. However, the lack of variety in printable polymers with advanced material properties becomes the main bottleneck in further development of this technology. Herein, a comprehensive review is provided, focusing on material design strategies to achieve or enhance the 3D printability of a range of polymers including thermoplastics, thermosets, hydrogels, and other polymers by extrusion techniques. Moreover, diverse advanced properties exhibited by such printed polymers, such as mechanical strength, conductance, self-healing, as well as other integrated properties are highlighted. Lastly, the stimuli responsiveness of the 3D printed polymeric materials including shape morphing, degradability, and color changing is also discussed.

Abstract
Next generation engineered tissue constructs with complex and ordered architectures aim to better mimic the native tissue structures, largely due to advances in three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting techniques. Extrusion bioprinting has drawn tremendous attention due to its widespread availability, cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and its facile and rapid processing. However, poor printing resolution and low speed have limited its fidelity and clinical implementation. To circumvent the downsides associated with extrusion printing, microfluidic technologies are increasingly being implemented in 3D bioprinting for engineering living constructs. These technologies enable biofabrication of heterogeneous biomimetic structures made of different types of cells, biomaterials, and biomolecules. Microfluiding bioprinting technology enables highly controlled fabrication of 3D constructs in high resolutions and it has been shown to be useful for building tubular structures and vascularized constructs, which may promote the survival and integration of implanted engineered tissues. Although this field is currently in its early development and the number of bioprinted implants is limited, it is envisioned that it will have a major impact on the production of customized clinical-grade tissue constructs. Further studies are, however, needed to fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology in the lab and its translation to the clinic.
