“…Spatially controlled light intensities have been previously explored by several groups for controlling the mechanical properties of 3D materials prepared by conventional photopolymerization, and even for 4D printing via swelling and dehydration induced actuation. [3e,25] As the mechanical properties of our 3D printed materials were dependent on the light exposure,w ed ecided to exploit these differences to print am aterial with spatially resolved properties.F urthermore, our resin formulations were water soluble,w hich allowed objects to be printed in aqueous solutions.T od ate,o nly ah andful of aqueous 3D printing systems have been developed [26] due to the insolubility of typical photoinitiators and monomers in water, however, the current system tailors toward 3D bioprinting due to the high biocompatibility of aqueous systems. [3h,m,n, 27] To demonstrate the utility of our formulation, ahydrogel with spatially resolved properties was 3D printed and subsequently dehydrated and re-swelled for actuation;assuch, a4Dprinted material was fabricated using our photosensitive resin.…”
