Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

This work describes the synthesis and detailed characterization of a ternary hybrid hydrogel comprising a thermogelling hydrogel containing laponite clay nanoparticles, in which an additional polymer network is polymerized by free radical polymerization. The precursor hydrogel can be effectively 3D printed and after curing, interesting mechanical properties are obtained.
