Relevance Statement: Manufacturing technologies that employ smart materials have the potential to revitalize American manufacturing in diverse areas, such as aerospace, biomedicine, energy, and healthcare, through creation of devices that can perform dynamic functions that cannot be achieved by any current approach. This work will use integrated, interdisciplinary experimentation and simulation to contribute in-depth understanding […]

Public Health Relevance – Although it is largely accepted that osteocyte signaling plays a key role in a variety of bone diseases, evaluation of signaling propagation within the osteocyte network has been challenging due to their location within a calcified bone matrix. To that end, this work will develop a new model that not only […]

This review will describe the state-of-art technologies for shaping tough and stretchable DN gels into custom geometries by using conventional molding and casting, extrusion, and optics-based 3D printing, as well as the key challenges and future outlook in this field. https://doi.org/10.1089/3dp.2020.0239
