Abstract 3D printing alias additive manufacturing can transform 3D virtual models created by
computer-aided design (CAD) into physical 3D objects in a layer-by-layer manner …

Supramolecular binding motifs are increasingly employed in the design of biomaterials. The
ability to rationally engineer specific yet reversible associations into polymer networks with …

Hydrogels with high mechanical strength and injectability have attracted extensive attention
in biomedical and tissue engineering. However, endowing a hydrogel with both properties is …

Self-healing hydrogels may mimic the behavior of living tissues, which can autonomously
repair minor damages, and therefore have a high potential for application in biomedicine. So …

Due to the wet and dynamic environment of the oral cavity, the healing of intraoral wounds,
such as tooth extraction wounds, requires stable and firm wound dressings. In clinical …

The use of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has progressed beyond prototyping to
produce intricate and valuable finished goods. The potential of additive manufacturing has …

The fragmentation of plastic materials into nanoparticles of less than 1000 nm (secondary
nanoplastics) and their possible accumulation in the environment is a recent matter of …

Hydrogels have become ideal materials in the nascent applications of tissue engineering,
soft robots, drug delivery, and so forth. However, compared with biological tissues, the …

Hydrogels are a series of soft and wet materials with three dimensions of crosslinked
networks. Hydrogels have attracted great attention due to their diverse functional properties …

Fabricating artificial materials that mimic the structures and properties of tendons is of great
significance. Possessing a tensile stress of approximately 10.0 MPa and a water content of …
