Herein, a dual-functioning deep eutectic solvent system based on triethylmethylammonium chloride and imidazole was harnessed as a swelling agent and a reaction medium for the esterification of cellulose with -octyl succinic anhydride (OSA). The modified or amphiphilic cellulose nanofibers (ACNFs), synthesized using three different OSA-to-anhydroglucose unit molar ratios (0.5:1, ACNF-1; 1:1, ACNF-2; and 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of microgel assembly as bioinks to create 3D printed scaffolds that support cell viability and function in bioprinting applications.
  • A new one-step method combines methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) microgel fabrication with photo-crosslinkable polysaccharide (GGMMA) to improve the stability and functionality of the bioinks during the printing process.
  • The resulting porous hydrogel structure encourages better cell growth and colonization by maintaining interconnected voids, making this approach cost-effective and efficient for bioprinting applications.
