Paper
Bridging the gap between performance and biocompatibility: non-toxic, multifunctional aliphatic photoinitiators based on α-ketoesters for lithography-based manufacturing applications
Aliphatic photoinitiators based on α-ketoester moieties generate highly reactive and non-toxic radicals and can be used to initiate photopolymerization of (meth)acrylate and hydrogel resins for biomedical applications, outperforming commercial.
Paper
Thermal and rheological transitions of high performance semicrystalline polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymers in material extrusion (MEX)
The time taken to reach key transition temperatures in MEX can be obtained using the cooling profile and thermomechanical transitions.
Paper
4D printed polymethacrylate lattices capable of dimensional switching and payload release via photoresponsive actuation of azobenzene units
Photoresponsive polymeric hydrogel lattices have been generated using stereolithographic 3D printing to afford objects that can change shape when irradiated with UV-vis light that are capable of exhibiting payload release.
About this collection
This themed collection in Materials Advances on additive manufacturing is guest edited by Dr Vincenzo Taresco (University of Nottingham, UK), Dr Yinfeng He (University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China), Dr Katharina Ehrmann (TU Wein, Austria) and Dr Belén Begines (University of Seville, Spain). The collection aims to bring together the latest research from design and synthesis of materials and engineering materials with adaptive properties to innovative applications of additive manufacturing.
We hope you enjoy exploring the collection and congratulations to those authors who have had their work featured!
