- Additional information
- This output shows that an in-house photoinitiator mixed with other hydrogel ingredients produces a novel recipe for high-resolution digital light processing (DLP)-based 3D printing. Understanding of the favourable characteristics of this hydrogel has opened-up applications in bio-structures, optical lenses and hydrogel-elastomer hybrid structures, including collaboration with Leeds University (Dr Ali Alazmani; A.Alazmani@leeds.ac.uk) on soft actuation applications. It has formed the basis for further studies (doi:10.1021/acsami.9b00359; 10.1080/19475411.2019.1591540; 10.1126/sciadv.aba4261) and featured in review papers as conductive hydrogels (doi:10.1016/j.actbio.2019.08.044) and having healthcare applications (doi:10.1016/j.jconrel.2020.10.008).
