Chemically Coupled Interfacial Adhesion in Multimaterial Printing of Hydrogels and Elastomers

Abstract

Functional devices that use hydrogels as ionic conductors and elastomers as dielectrics have the advantage of being soft, stretchable, transparent, and biocompatible, making them ideal for biomedical applications. These devices are typically fabricated by manual assembly. Techniques for the manufacturing of soft materials have generally not looked at integrating multiple dissimilar materials. Silane coupling agents have recently shown promise for creating strong bonds between hydrogels and elastomers but have yet to be used in the extrusion printing of complex devices that integrate both hydrogels and elastomers. Here, we demonstrate the viability of silane coupling agents in a system with the rheology and functional composition necessary for three-dimensional (3D) extrusion printing of hydrogel-elastomer materials, specifically polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) hydrophobic elastomer. By introducing a charge-neutral surfactant in the PDMS and adjusting silane concentrations in the PAAm, cast material samples demonstrate strong adhesion. We were also able to achieve an interfacial toughness of up to Γ = 193 ± 6.3 J/m2 for a fully extrusion printed PAAm hydrogel-on-PDMS bilayer. This result demonstr...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
