Modulating carboxymethylcellulose-based hydrogels with superior mechanical and rheological properties for future biomedical applications by N. A. Dahlan, S. Y. Teow, Y. Y. Lim, J. Pushpamalar

“…The rheological studies suggested that the optimized 10% (w/v) grafted CMC-PEG hydrogels crosslinked with 5% (w/v) citric acid (CA) exhibited better mechanical properties compared to the non-grafted CMC. This work highlights the characterizations of grafted CMC-PEG and demonstrates the potential of grafted CMC-PEG hydrogels crosslinked with CA for advanced 3D-bioprinting or as injectable hydrogels in various biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, wound dressing materials, and drug delivery systems.…”

Dual-curable stereolithography resins for superior thermomechanical properties by O. Konuray, F. Di Donato, M. Sangermano, J. Bonada, A. Tercjak, X. Fernandez-Francos, A. Serra, X. Ramis

“…The majority of SL resins consist of acrylate monomers which result in materials with curing-induced shrinkage problems and this, in addition to the incomplete and non-uniform conversions reached in the SL process, results in poor mechanical properties. To address this issue, a dual-curing formulation was developed by mixing an epoxy monomer into a commercial multi-acrylate SL resin: the first curing stage is acrylate free-radical photopolymerization at ambient temperature, and the second curing stage is cationic epoxy homopolymerization at higher temperatures. …”
