Reactive inkjet printing of calcium alginate hydrogel porogens—a new strategy to open-pore structured matrices with controlled geometry

Abstract:

Taking advantage of inkjet’s ability to dispense uniform droplets in the picolitre/nanolitre ranges of volumes, we have generated reversible hydrogel porogen beads using reactive printing, which we use as templates for creating networks of pores with monomodally distributed pore sizes.
