Engineered 3D Polymer and Hydrogel Microenvironments for Cell Culture Applications

The realization of biomimetic microenvironments for cell biology applications such as organ-on-chip, in vitro drug screening, and tissue engineering is one of the most fascinating research areas in the field of bioengineering. The continuous evolution of additive manufacturing techniques provides the tools to engineer these architectures at...

Dynamic response of a polymer and polymer composite systems: Experimental studies

Recently, research on the impact resistance of transparent hybrid glass-polymer systems (layered and particle-matrix systems) has been conducted at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), showing the potential of these materials for the application in protection concepts. A soft, transparent polyurethane elastomeric...
