The 3D printing method, alternatively known as additive manufacturing (AM), is promising for
rapid tooling and layered micromanufacturing. However, significant fundamental research …

Exploration of functional materials based on sustainable and renewable biomolecules has
been of much interest. Herein, nature-inspired photonic films were proposed by …

Cellulose, a renewable structural biopolymer, is ubiquitous in nature and is the basic
reinforcement component of the natural hierarchical structures of living plants, bacteria, and …

Chitosan, cellulose nanocrystals, and halloysite nanotubes in the presence of calcium
cations were used to fabricate a three-dimensional nanocomposite scaffold. The FTIR and …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are one-dimensional, rod-like, anisotropic, renewable,
sustainable, and degradable polysaccharide-based materials with a high aspect ratio and …

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are programmable materials par excellence. I review the
history and state of the art of LCE materials and processing development from the …

Drug delivery systems based on synthetic and natural polymers offer a new approach with a
capacity to control the release of bio-active agents within time. In this work, we present …
