The future of 3D printing is CLEAR @ScienceMagazine Determined to 3D print tanglemers developed by @Junsoo_twit & @zhigangsuo, we invented a new way to process printed materials that is broadly useful to the 3D printing field. @apdhand @BurdickLab @HannahZlotnick CLEAR🧵👇
Excited to share our new method in @ScienceMagazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by @apdhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ @HannahZlotnick & NIST colleagues. Link: https://t.co/zDIkCxrsHh

A powerful strategy to develop materials for sustainability is to reimagine the existing economically important materials. In a new paper published in Nature Sustainability, we show that the performance of natural rubber can be greatly enhanced. https://t.co/aqEGr02C5X

1️⃣For years, scientists have known that mechanical tension influences cell behavior. But in our recent study in @NatureMaterials we found that it is not just the amount of tension—it is the direction! https://t.co/DCnYZYs29Z

Need something to read this winter as you say goodbye to 2024? Check out a sampling of what #CUBoulder researchers learned about the universe this year. These discoveries should help keep you inspired through January and beyond. https://t.co/kL3a61f7uW

Delighted to share my latest work, co-first authored with fantastic undergrad mentee Joshua Lee, on highly entangled hydrogels with photolabile crosslinks. We compare selective crosslink cleavage (which lengthens chains) to non-selective photo-oxidative degradation. Link below!

Researchers have developed a novel approach to #3Dprinting they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light and dark chemical reactions to create densely entangled polymer chains. https://t.co/LpDJeymqJp
