Digital Assembly of Spherical bio-ink Particles (DASP)
Voxelated Bioprinting: Digital Assembly of Spherical Particles
A conventional bottlebrush polymer network is brittle
Our newly discovered foldable bottlebrush polymer network is extremely stretchable by ~30 times.
Particle image velocimetry shows the strain field during DASP
A voxel-bioprinted “raspberry” like hollow sphere consisting of a single layer of interconnected yet distinguishable bio-ink particles
DASP printed lattice consisting of interconnected yet distinguishable bio-ink particles
A customized SLA platform allows printing a small amount of our soft stretchable resins
Track the motion of microparticles to back out physical properties of surrounding environment
Using drop-based microfluidics to make core-shell microparticles; the core is dextran solution, whereas the shell is alginate
