Electro and magnetoactive printed bi-functional actuators based on alginate hybrid hydrogels.

Soft materials are attracting much attention for the development of biostructures able to mimic the movement of natural systems by remote actuation. Multi-sensitive hydrogels are among the best materials for obtaining dynamic and biocompatible soft structures for soft actuators and related biomedical devices. Nevertheless, bioinks based on naturally occurring and stimuli responsive hydrogels able to be 3D printed continues being a challenge for advanced applications.
