A Thermally Expandable Resin for the Volumetric Additive Manufacturing of Shape‐Memory Functional Foams Open
Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM) is a 3D printing technique that produces parts extremely fast by projecting 2D images into a rotating vial of resin, printing the structures all at once, instead of layer‐by‐layer like i…

Optimization of the Rheological Properties of Fumed‐Silica‐Based Supporting Baths for Embedded Printing and Reduction of the Effect of Crevasse Formation Open
In embedded 3D printing, the supporting gel must provide the right rheological properties to keep the ink in place. It has previously been shown that a strong and stable 3D network can be formed by particle–particle interactions of hydroph…

Controllable Wetting Transitions on Photoswitchable Physical Gels Open
Softness plays a key role in the deformation of soft elastic substrates at the three-phase contact line, and the acting forces lead to the formation of a wetting ridge due to elastocapillarity. The change in wetting ridge and surface profi…

A Polystyrene Photoresin for Direct Lithography of Microfluidic Chips Open
Polystyrene (PS) is the material of choice for many medical, biological, and biomedical applications given its advantageous properties such as high biocompatibility, optical transparency, and the possibility to shape PS using high‐throughp…
