Abstract
Polymer carbon composites have been reported for improved mechanical, thermal and electrical properties to provide reduced side effect by 3D printing personalized biomedical drug delivery devices. But control on homogeneity in loading and release of dopants like carbon allotropes and drugs, respectively, in the bulk and on the surface has always been a challenge. Herein, we are reporting a methodological cascade to achieve a model, customizable, 3D printed, homogeneously layered and electrically stimulatory, PLA-Graphene nanoplatelet (hl-PLGR) based drug delivery device, called 3D-est-MediPatch. The medicinal patch has been prepared by 3D-printing a Nic-hl-PLGR composite obtained by incorporating a redox active model drug, niclosamide (Nic) in hl-PLGR. The composite of Nic-hl-PLGR was characterized in three sequentially complex forms─composite film, hot melt extruded (HME) filament, and 3D printed (3DP) patches to understand the effect of filament extrusion and 3D-printing processes on Nic-hl-PLGR composite and overall drug incorporation efficiency and control. The incorporation of graphene was found to improve the homogeneity of the drug, and the hot melt extrusion improved the dispersion of drug and graphene fillers in the composite. The electroresponsive drug release from the Nic-hl-PLGR composite was found to be controllably accelerated compared to the drug release by diffusion, in simulated buffer condition. The released drug concentration was found to reach within the IC50 range for malignant melanoma cell (A375) and showed in vitro selectively, with reduced effects in noncancerous, fibroblast cells (NIH3T3). Further, the feasibility of application for this system was assessed in generating personalized 3D-est-MediPatch for skin, liver and spleen tissues in ex-vivo scenario. It showed excellent feasibility and efficacy of the 3D-est-MediPatch in controlled and personalized release of drugs during electrostimulation. Thus, a model platform, 3D-est-MediPatch, could be achieved by suitably incorporating a hydrophobic, redox-active drug (niclosamide) in poly lactic acid-graphene nanoplatelet composite for electrostimulatory therapeutics with reduced side effects.

Abstract
The influence of macro-micro structural design on the mechanical response of structural nanocomposites is substantial. The advancement of additive manufacturing especially three-dimensional (3-D) printing technology offers a promising avenue for the efficient and precise fabrication of multi-functional low-weight and high-strength nanocomposites. In contemporary discourse, there is a notable emphasis on carbon-based nanomaterials as nanofillers for structural composites due to their substantial specific surface area and exceptional load-bearing ability in mechanical structures. Notably, graphene, a distinctive two-dimensional (2-D) nanomaterial, exhibits very large elastic modulus and ultimate strength as well as remarkable plasticity. The utilization of graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) in the field of 3-D printing enables the production of intricate three-dimensional structures of varying sizes and configurations. This is achieved through the macro-assembly process, which facilitates the creation of a well-organized distribution of graphene and the establishment of a comprehensive physical network through precise micro-regulation. This paper presents an overview of multiscale structural composites that are strengthened by the incorporation of graphene and prepared by 3-D printing. The composites discussed in this study encompass graphene-polymer composites, graphene-ceramic composites, and graphene-metal composites. Furthermore, an analysis of the present obstacles and potential future advancements in this rapidly expanding domain is anticipated.

Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has emerged as a promising candidate for the dielectric layer in implantable sensors due to its exceptional biocompatibility, stability, and flexibility. This study introduces an innovative approach to produce graphene-reinforced PDMS (Gr-PDMS), where graphite powders are exfoliated into mono- and few-layer graphene sheets within the polymer solution, concurrently forming cross-linkages with PDMS. This method yields a uniformly distributed graphene within the polymer matrix with improved interfaces between graphene and PDMS, significantly reducing the percolation threshold of graphene dispersed in PDMS from 10% to 5%. As-synthesized Gr-PDMS exhibits improved mechanical and electrical properties, tested for potential use in capacitive pressure sensors. The results demonstrate an impressive pressure sensitivity up to 0.0273 kpa-1, 45 times higher than that of pristine PDMS and 2.5 times higher than the reported literature value. The Gr-PDMS showcases excellent pressure sensing ability and stability, fulfilling the requirements for implantable intracranial pressure (ICP) sensors.

Abstract
Developing new biodegradable packaging with superior properties and advanced functionalities is one of the most emerging research areas of interest in food packaging. In this study, PLA/PEG-based nanocomposite films incorporated with different amounts of nano glass flake (NGF) (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 phr) were fabricated via casting solution for applications in food packaging. The ATR-FTIR displayed no chemical interaction between the PLA/PEG-based matrix and NGF particles. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations exhibited a relatively smooth and homogeneous surface without defects. Incorporation of the NGF into the PLA/PEG-based matrix did not affect the color and opacity of the fabricated films. The prepared nanocomposite films were highly transparent and exhibited superior properties such as increased hydrophobicity, appreciable oxygen barrier properties, and enhanced thermal stability. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis confirmed the existence of a single glass-transition temperature (Tg) as evidence of miscibility. According to the research results, the PLA/PEG/NGF1 nanocomposite film significantly offered the best overall performance. This work has developed new insight into the potential application of nano glass flakes in food packaging.

Abstract
The smart photochromic materials based on polylactic acid (PLA) were prepared by melt-blending and hot-pressing, in which photochromic microcapsules (PM) were used as a functional additive, and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was introduced into the photochromic PLA blends for the first time to improve their properties. The crystallization and melting behavior, morphology, and photochromic performance of PLA/PVAc/PM blends were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectrophotometer, respectively. The results showed that PVAc significantly improved the photochromic properties of PLA/PM blends. Under 30s UV irradiation, the blends reached a value of ΔE that could be recognized in 3 s by human eyes. This discriminative ΔE value could be maintained for at least 3 min after removal from UV irradiation. Meanwhile, the blend had outstanding photochromic durability and recyclability. Compared to ΔE for 0.5 h of continuous light irradiation, ΔE for 8 h of continuous light irradiation decreased by only about 1, to 14.1. In 25 cycles of 3 s UV irradiation, the values of ΔE for the first and 25th irradiation were 11.4 and 11.6, respectively. The blend showed different photochromic responses to different light intensities. The ΔE values of 8.6, 14.6, 14.6, and 18.4 for irradiation at 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 W/m2 of solar intensity, respectively.

Abstract
3D printing has rapidly become a critical enabling technology in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for the fabrication of complex engineered tissues. 3D bioprinting, in particular, has advanced greatly to facilitate the incorporation of a broad spectrum of biomaterials along with cells and biomolecules of interest forin vitrotissue generation. The increasing complexity of novel bioink formulations and application-dependent printing conditions poses a significant challenge for replicating or innovating new bioprinting strategies. As the field continues to grow, it is imperative to establish a cohesive, open-source database that enables users to search through existing 3D printing formulations rapidly and efficiently. Through the efforts of the NIH/NIBIB Center for Engineering Complex Tissues, we have developed, to our knowledge, the first bioink database for extrusion-based 3D printing. The database is publicly available and allows users to search through and easily access information on biomaterials and cells specifically used in 3D printing. In order to enable a community-driven database growth, we have established an open-source portal for researchers to enter their publication information for addition into the database. Although the database has a broad range of capabilities, we demonstrate its utility by performing a comprehensive analysis of the printability domains of two well-established biomaterials in the printing world, namely poly(ϵ-caprolactone) and gelatin methacrylate. The database allowed us to rapidly identify combinations of extrusion pressure, temperature, and speed that have been used to print these biomaterials and more importantly, identify domains within which printing was not possible. The data also enabled correlation analysis between all the printing parameters, including needle size and type, that exhibited compatibility for cell-based 3D printing. Overall, this database is an extremely useful tool for the 3D printing and bioprinting community to advance their research and is an important step towards standardization in the field.

Abstract
We propose a universal strategy to 3D printing the graphene oxide (GO) complex structure with GO highly aligned and densely compacted, by the combination of direct ink writing and constrained drying. The constraints not only allow the generation of a huge capillary force accompanied by water evaporation at nanoscale, which induces the high compaction and alignment of GO, but also limit the shrinkage of the extruded filaments only along the wall thickness direction, therefore, successfully maintaining the uniformity of the structure at macroscale. We discover that the shrinkage stress gradually increased during the drying process, with the maximum exceeding ∼0.74 MPa, significantly higher than other colloidal systems. Interestingly, because of the convergence between plates with different orientations of the constraints, a gradient of porosity naturally formed across the thickness direction at the corner. This allows us to 3D print humidity sensitive GO based soft robotics.

Abstract
3D-printed micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have emerged as the ideal candidates for energy storage devices owing to their unique characteristics of miniaturization, structural diversity, and integration. Exploring the 3D printing technology for various materials and architectures of MSCs is key to realizing customization and optimizing the performance of 3D-printed MSCs. In this review, we summarize the latest progress in 3D-printed MSCs with regards to general printing approaches, printable materials, and rational design considerations. Specifically, several general types of 3D printing techniques (their working principles, available materials, resolutions, advantages, and disadvantages) and their applications to fabricate electrodes with different energy storage mechanisms, and various electrolytes, are summarized. We further discuss research directions in terms of integrated systems with other electronics. Finally, future perspectives on the research and development directions in this important field are further discussed.

Graphene oxide (GO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes with silver particles (MWNT-Ag) of different concentrations were used as nanofillers to prepare poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticle films through the solvent casting method. In this study, the effects of nanoparticles on the crystallization behavior, relationships between the dispersion and electrical properties, and hydrolytic degradation behaviors were investigated for the PLA/MWNT-Ag and PLA/rGO films. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to evaluate the crystallization behaviors of the PLA/MWNT-Ag and PLA/reduced GO (rGO) films. Electron probe microanalysis was performed to characterize the dispersion of MWNT-Ag, and X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to determine the degree of dispersion of rGO in the PLA matrix. The results showed that nanoparticles enhanced the crystallization kinetics of PLA as well as the hydrolytic degradation rate. From the measurement of electrical properties, the electrical conductivity of PLA/MWNT-Ag 1.0 wt% was much higher than that of the pure PLA and PLA/rGO films, showing that MANT and Ag nanoparticles contribute greatly to enhancing the electrical conductivity of the PLA/MWNT-Ag films.

Abstract
To assess the impact of graphite fillers on the thermal processing of graphite/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites, a series of the composite samples with different graphite of industrial grade as fillers was prepared by melt mixing. The average size of the graphite grains ranged between 100 µm and 6 µm. For comparative purposes, one of the carbon fillers was expandable graphite. Composites were examined by SEM, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. As revealed by thermogravimetric (TG) analyses, graphite filler slightly lowered the temperature of thermal decomposition of the PLA matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests showed that the room temperature crystallinity of the polymer matrix is strongly affected by the graphite filler. The crystallinity of the composites determined from the second heating cycle reached values close to 50%, while these values are close to zero for the neat polymer. The addition of graphite to PLA caused a slight reduction in the oxidation induction time (OIT). The melt flow rate (MFR) of the graphite/PLA composites was lower than the original PLA due to an increase in flow resistance associated with the high crystallinity of the polymer matrix. Expandable graphite did not cause changes in the structure of the polymer matrix during thermal treatment. The crystallinity of the composite with this filler did not increase after first heating and was close to the neat PLA MFR value, which was extremely high due to the low crystallinity of the PLA matrix and delamination of the filler at elevated temperature.

Abstract
Terahertz (THz) vortex waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) hold great potential in dealing with the capacity crunch in wireless high-speed communication systems. Nevertheless, it is quite a challenge for the widespread applications of OAM in the THz regime due to the beam divergence and stringent alignment requirement. To address this issue, an all-dielectric lens (ADL) is proposed for the arbitrary manipulation of quasi-nondiffractive THz OAM waves (QTOWs). On the basis of the concept of the optical conical lens and the multivorticity metasurface, the beam number, the topological charge (TC), and the deflection angle as well as the nondiffractive depth of the generated THz OAM waves are controllable. For proof-of-concept, two ADLs are 3D printed to create single and dual deflected QTOWs, respectively. Remarkably, measured by a THz imaging camera, the desired QTOWs with high mode purity are observed in predesigned directions with a nondiffractive depth predefined theoretically. The proposed designs and experiments, for the first time, verified that the QTOWs could be achieved with a nondiffractive range of 55.58λg (λg = wavelength at 140 GHz) and large deflection angles of 30° and 45°.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most widely used raw material in extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing (fused deposition modeling, FDM approach) in many areas since it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, however its utilization is limited due to some of its disadvantages such as mechanical weakness, water solubility rate, etc. FDM is a simple and more cost-effective fabrication process compared to other 3D printing techniques. Unfortunately, there are deficiencies of the FDM approach, such as mechanical weakness of the FDM parts compared to the parts produced by the conventional injection and compression molding methods. Preparation of PLA composites with suitable additives is the most useful technique to improve the properties of the 3D-printed PLA parts obtained by the FDM method. In the last decade, newly developed PLA composites find large usage areas both in academic and industrial circles. This review focuses on the chemistry and properties of pure PLA and also the preparation methods of the PLA composites which will be used as a raw material in 3D printers. The main drawbacks of the pure PLA filaments and the necessity for the preparation of PLA composites which will be employed in the FDM-based 3D printing applications is also discussed in the first part. The current methods to obtain PLA composites as raw materials to be used as filaments in the extrusion-based 3D printing are given in the second part. The applications of the novel PLA composites by utilizing the FDM-based 3D printing technology in the fields of biomedical, tissue engineering, human bone repair, antibacterial, bioprinting, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic, sensor, battery, automotive, aviation, four-dimensional (4D) printing, smart textile, environmental, and luminescence applications are presented and critically discussed in the third part of this review.

Abstract
Two-dimensional material (2DM) coatings exhibit complex and controversial interactions with biological matter, having shown in different contexts to induce bacterial cell death and contribute to mammalian cell growth and proliferation in vitro and tissue differentiation in vivo. Although several reports indicate that the morphologic and electronic properties of the coating, as well as its surface features (e.g., crystallinity, wettability, and chemistry), play a key role in the biological interaction, these kinds of interactions have not been fully understood yet. In this review, we report and classify the cellular interaction mechanisms observed in graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) coatings. Graphene and hBN were chosen as study materials to gauge the effect of two atomic-thick coatings with analogous lattice structure yet dissimilar electrical properties upon contact with living matter, allowing to discern among the observed effects and link them to specific material properties. In our analysis, we also considered the influence of crystallinity and surface roughness, detailing the mechanisms of interaction that make specific coatings of these 2DMs either hostile toward bacterial cells or innocuous for mammalian cells. In doing this, we discriminate among the material and surface properties, which are often strictly connected to the 2DM production technique, coating deposition and post-processing method. Building on this knowledge, the selection of 2DM coatings based on their specific characteristics will allow to engineer desired functionalities and devices. Antibacterial coatings to prevent biofouling, biocompatible platforms suitable for biomedical applications (e.g., wound healing, tissue repairing and regeneration, and novel biosensing devices) could be realized in the next future. Overall, a clear understanding on how the 2DM coating's properties may modulate a specific bacterial or cellular response is crucial for any future innovation in the field.
