Oh, J.J. (author), Ammu, S.K. (author), Vriend-Harwig, V.D. (author), Kieffer, R.Y. (author), Dr. Kleiner, F.K. (author), Balasubramanian, S. (author), Karana, E. (author), Masania, K. (author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author)Engineered living materials (ELMs) are a novel class of functional materials that typically feature spatial confinement of living components within an inert polymer matrix to recreate biological functions. Understanding the growth and spatial configuration of cellular populations within a matrix is crucial to predicting and improving their...journal article 2023

Schreck, Murielle (author), Kleger, Nicole (author), Matter, Fabian (author), Kwon, Junggou (author), Tervoort, Elena (author), Masania, K. (author), Studart, André R. (author), Niederberger, Markus (author)Monolithic aerogels composed of crystalline nanoparticles enable photocatalysis in three dimensions, but they suffer from low mechanical stability and it is difficult to produce them with complex geometries. Here, an approach to control the geometry of the photocatalysts to optimize their photocatalytic performance by introducing carefully...journal article 2021

Gantenbein, Silvan (author), Mascolo, C. (author), Houriet, C.C.M.C.A.G. (author), Zboray, Robert (author), Neels, Antonia (author), Masania, K. (author), Studart, André R. (author)Fiber-reinforced polymers are widely used as lightweight materials in aircraft, automobiles, wind turbine blades, and sports products. Despite the beneficial weight reduction achieved in such applications, these composites often suffer from poor recyclability and limited geometries. 3D printing of liquid crystal polymers into complex-shaped...journal article 2021
