Current commercially available barrier membranes for oral surgery have yet to achieve a perfect design. Existing materials used are either non-resorbable and require a second surgery for their extraction, or alternatively are resorbable but suffer from poor structural integrity or degrade into acidic by-products. Silk has the potential to overcome these issues and has yet to be made into a comm...

The purpose of this study was to explore the use of a commercial thermal printer to deposit Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) and embryonic motoneuron cells into pre-defined patterns. These experiments were undertaken to verify the biocompatibility of thermal inkjet printing of mammalian cells and the ability to assemble them into viable constructs. Using a modified Hewlett Packard (HP) 550C computer...

A novel inkjet printing technology is introduced as a process to coat metal microneedle arrays with three anticancer agents 5-fluororacil, curcumin and cisplatin for transdermal delivery. The hydrophilic graft copolymer Soluplus(®) was used as a drug carrier and the coating formulations consisted of drug-polymer solutions at various ratios. A piezoelectric dispenser jetted microdroplets on the ...

The fabrication of hydrogel electrode materials via inkjet/extrusion printing, wet-spinning and physical crosslinking will be presented. Electrode characteristics such as conductivity, contact resistance, impedance and electrode connectivity will be discussed in detail.

Inkjet printing technology is used in the manufacture of color Þlters and alignment layer Þlm for liquid crystal displays. The minimum droplet volume is achieved under a few picoliters and the head prints lines of a few tens of micrometers. In order to expand range of applications of the inkjet technology, we consider that a inkjet head is needed with the ability to micropattern feature sizes o...

Flexible and transparent graphene films have been fabricated via inkjet printing and vapor deposition (VDP) methods, and the graphene-based acoustic actuator could be used as an extremely thin and lightweight loudspeaker.

This paper presents examples of inkjet printing applications for organic electronics. Two applications developed are presented in detail: organic thin-film transistors fabricated on biocellulose and electrodes for electromyography deposited on

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 1 wileyonlinelibrary.com applications, metal nanoparticles, oxides, polymers, and many other materials were inkjet-printed.[1] However, the inkjet printing of an essential material for electrochemical applications, palladium (Pd), is less commonly reported. Pd is of significant importance for electrochemical applications due to its high electroc...

We have investigated whether inkjet printing technology can be extended to print cells of the adult rat central nervous system (CNS), retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and glia, and the effects on survival and growth of these cells in culture, which is an important step in the development of tissue grafts for regenerative medicine, and may aid in the cure of blindness. We observed that RGC and glia ...

The objectives of this study were to analyse the effect of inkjet 3-D printing parameters, particularly the splat overlap distance, for the fabrication of defect-free porous Al2O3 ceramic multilayers, and to correlate the resulting porosities with the mechanical properties measured using nanoindentation. An aqua-based alumina ink was used in this study to fabricate the multilayers on dense alum...
