Injectable and 3D Extrusion Printable Hydrophilic Silicone-Based Hydrogels for Controlled Ocular Delivery of Ophthalmic Drugs
Abstract
While silicone elastomers have found widespread use in the biomedical industry, 3D printing them has proven to be difficult due to the material's slow drying time, low viscosity, and hydrophobicity. Herein, we arrested the hydrophilic silicone (HS) macrochains into a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) via an in situ photogelation-assisted 3D microextrusion printing technique. The flow behavior of the pregel solutions and the …
