Research progress of hydrogel in 3D printing tissue engineering
Hydrogels have good biocompatibility due to their material properties,and have great application prospects in the fields of tissue engineering,intelligent structure and biomedicine.With the development of polymer science and the demand of practical application,a large number of scholars began to study the responsive and tough hy-drogels.However,the hydrogels obtained by traditional processing methods are mostly blocky and thin film structures,with simple shape,single deformation and slow response speed,which are difficult to meet the needs of practical appli-cations.The emergence and development of 3D printing has provided a new processing method for hydrogels.This pa-per focuses on the application of hydrogels in 3D printing tissue engineering,including the concept of hydrogels,the category of hydrogels,the mechanism of action of hydrogels in 3D printing tissue engineering,and the application of hydrogels in 3D printing tissue engineering.
