Engineers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have invented a ‘4D printing’ method for a smart gel that could lead to the development of living’ structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery.
Follow @TheManufacturer The 4D printing approach involves printing a 3D object with a hydrogel (water-containing gel) that changes shape over time when temperatures change, according to Howon Lee, senior author of a new study. The study, published in Scientific Reports, reportedly demonstrates fast, scalable, high-resolution 3D printing of hydrogels, which remain solid and retain their…
