내용
3D printing of hydrogels has attracted great attention due to its promising applications, such as for soft robotics and artificial organs. To print hydrogels, it is essential for the solution to be able to maintain its structure after printing without clogging the nozzle. Pluronic F-127 is suitable as a platform for 3D printing of hydrogels, as it is consisted of triblock copolymers with hydrophilic side blocks and hydrophobic center block. This structure allows pluronic to have viscosity shift depending on its critical micelle temperature and concentration. Based on that property, we synthesized pluronic dimethacrylate as a platform for 3D printing of hydrogels. The pluronic acts as a rheology modifier for the pre-gel solution, and the methacrylate group allows photopolymerization after printing, preventing the gel from dissolving out upon immersion in solvents. This method is versatile, and can be developed to include more functionalities such as toughness and conductivity.
