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

Advanced 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 ...

Sustained Release of Naltrexone from Poly(N‐Isopropylacrylamide) Microgels [PDF]

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
The release of the opioid antagonist naltrexone from neutral poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) microgels and negatively charged PNIPAAM microgels containing acrylic acid groups (PNIPAAM-co-PAA) has been studied at various microgel and drug concentrations. The release curves were found to be well represented by the Weibull equation.
