چکیده
Biomimicking In article 2201346 by Milica Radisic and co-workers, scaffolds fabricated coaxial printing of bioelastomers can mimic both the structures mechanical properties native tissues, which are ideal for organ-on-a-chip tissue engineering applications. This image shows an artistic tubular structure made a biodegradable elastomer called PICO.

Submerged microcontact printing (SmuCP): an unconventional printing technique of thiols using high aspect ratio, elastomeric stamps.
A technique for microcontact printing of thiols in liquid media is presented. Elastomeric poly(dimethyl siloxane) stamps are used to pattern gold surfaces with thiol-based self-assembled monolayers. The liquid (water in this case) has been used as an incompressible support and, advantageously, also acts as a medium in which alkylthiol ink molecules are poorly miscible. Consequently, we have bee...
متن کاملHigh-throughput printing via microvascular multinozzle arrays.
Microvascular multinozzle arrays are designed and fabricated for high-throughput printing of functional materials. Ink-flow uniformity within these multigeneration, bifurcating microchannel arrays is characterized by computer modeling and microscopic particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurements. Both single and dual multinozzle printheads are produced to enable rapid printing of multilay...
متن کاملMetamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملOmnidirectional printing of 3D microvascular networks.
In another example, tissue engineering constructs containing both embedded cells and a planar array of microchannels were developed to facilitate the delivery of nutrient-laden fl uids that promote cell viability. [ 14–17 ] Despite these recent examples, the fabrication of synthetic microvascular networks composed of complex, hierarchical 3D architectures remains an elusive goal. Although sever...
متن کاملFabrication of aligned microstructures with a single elastomeric stamp.
The fabrication of complex patterns of aligned microstructures has required the use of multiple applications of lithography. Here we describe an approach for microfabrication that encodes the two-dimensional spatial information of several photomasks onto a single elastomeric stamp by mapping each photomask onto distinct heights on the surface of the stamp. Pressing the stamp against a surface c...
