The future of 3D printing is CLEAR @ScienceMagazine Determined to 3D print tanglemers developed by @Junsoo_twit & @zhigangsuo, we invented a new way to process printed materials that is broadly useful to the 3D printing field. @apdhand @BurdickLab @HannahZlotnick CLEAR🧵👇
Excited to share our new method in @ScienceMagazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by @apdhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ @HannahZlotnick & NIST colleagues. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… @CUEngineering @pennbioeng @BioFrontiers

A powerful strategy to develop materials for sustainability is to reimagine the existing economically important materials. In a new paper published in Nature Sustainability, we show that the performance of natural rubber can be greatly enhanced.suo.seas.harvard.edu/files/s…

We are excited to celebrate the successful PhD defense of Dr. Nikolas Di Caprio! Niko developed novel injectable cell spheroid - microgel systems for cartilage repair and 3D printing, and contributed to numerous collaborative projects in the lab. Congrats, Dr. @CaprioNiko! 🍾

Need something to read this winter as you say goodbye to 2024? Check out a sampling of what #CUBoulder researchers learned about the universe this year. These discoveries should help keep you inspired through January and beyond. bit.ly/3VPxvYJ

Delighted to share my latest work, co-first authored with fantastic undergrad mentee Joshua Lee, on highly entangled hydrogels with photolabile crosslinks. We compare selective crosslink cleavage (which lengthens chains) to non-selective photo-oxidative degradation. Link below!

I dared to dream, and God showed mercy! Check out our paper in @natBME on how immunometabolic cues regulate the trafficking and polarization states of immune cells around biomaterials: rdcu.be/dVZIN. To our co-authors, collaborators and peer reviewers--thank you!

Researchers have developed a novel approach to #3Dprinting they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light and dark chemical reactions to create densely entangled polymer chains. scim.ag/7Wx

CLEAR improves multi-material printing to allow for robust curing between diverse materials. We used this to create bioadhesive patches with patterned adhesive and non-adhesive regions and gel-elastomer hybrids. Inspired by @ProfZhaoMIT @jianyuvli @SMSLaboratory @BenRFreedman.
