Abstract

Extruded three-dimensional (3D) printing based on photocurable materials has shown good application prospects in the medical field. This has been attributed to the operational aspect that can be performed at room temperature and the high mechanical strength of the extrudate and final product. However, the commonly used photocurable polymer, polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), has a low viscosity and exhibits a long crosslinking time. Therefore, additives are added to improve the printability of the extrudate. In this study, various hydrogels were used to improve the mixing uniformity and rheological behavior of PEGDA-based printing materials. Printing accuracy and mechanical strength were evaluated to optimize print material composition and process parameters. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M was found to improve the shear thinning and self-supporting properties of printing materials, which were essential for printability. Although the storage modulus of the photocured material proportionally increased with curing time in the range of 20-80 s, the minimal layer time of the 3D samples remained at 65 s, ensuring interlayer adhesion. Gastro-floating tablets with different infill densities were printed to illustrate the appl...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.
