Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.
