Bio-hydrophilic chain extenders with amphiphilic character for waterborne polyurethane derived from castor oil/tea seed oil: separation, synthesis, and application

Unsaturated vegetable fatty acids, as a renewable resource, are abundantly present in vegetable oils, exhibiting significant potential for the synthesis of bio-polyols and bio-based polyurethanes (PUs). Herein, castor oil (CO) and tea seed oil (TSO) were selected as feedstocks to...

Smart Bioinks for 4D Bioprinting: Requirements, Design, and Applications

ABSTRACT 3D bioprinting is known for its high precision and reproducibility in fabricating complex and customized biomedical constructs. However, its applications are limited by their static nature; i.e., unlike native tissues, they cannot change shape or functionality over time....
