Flexible 3D Multi‐Material Printing beyond Layer‐by‐Layer Constraints via Sequential Multi‐Printer Fabrication

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We developed a flexible multi‐material printing strategy that employs sequential printing with different printers. This combined use of printers expands the accessible material scope. Moreover, incorporating Xolography as a sequential step enables support‐free, contactless printing, thereby enhancing structural design flexibility beyond conventional ...

In situ preparation of PNIPAM biphasic hydrogels

open access: yesEuropean Polymer Journal, 2023
N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) monomer undergoes phase separation in water at very high concentrations, which offers striking opportunities to engineer biphasic hydrogel systems. However, this is a metastable state and NIPAM evolves to crystallize. Besides, the concentration of NIPAM in the lower phase is very small.

Hydrogels Under Superchaotropic Control: Polyoxometalate Stabilization and pH‐Responsive Crosslinking in Cellulose Ether Solutions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Superchaotropic binding of Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) to non‐ionic biopolymers like cellulose ethers (CEs) stabilizes otherwise hydrolytically unstable POMs in aqueous solution and allows conversion of pH‐nonresponsive polymers into pH‐responsive soft materials. The pH‐driven conversion from plenary to lacunary POMs switches superchaotropic binding
